## Summary

The Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government is currently in the planning stage for a tender titled "Building An Evidence Base To Better Understand The Impact Of Community Led Housing On Loneliness." This project aims to enhance understanding of how innovative housing models can alleviate loneliness, following a government strategy on the matter. The engagement period for this procurement will end on 1st October 2018, with the tender classified under research and development services. The tender will provide opportunities across the United Kingdom, including British Overseas Territories and the Channel Islands.

This tender offers significant opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in research, evaluation consultancy, and housing-related services. Companies that can provide insights into the social impact of communal living or engage in innovative housing solutions would be particularly well-suited to compete for this project, which is rooted in addressing pressing social issues through collaborative housing strategies.

## Notice

In response to a cross government loneliness strategy MHCLG has committed to improve the evidence base for housing-based interventions for loneliness. This study would focus on co-housing and loneliness through four locally evaluated case studies with a literature review that looks at housing more broadly. The objective of this project is to understand the impact of innovative housing models in reducing loneliness. A secondary objective is to build support for this type of housing and encourage commissioners and Housing Associations to consider the social impact of these models when planning new housing.
