Commissioning of Floating Support Services for People with Mental Health and Dual Diagnosis (Substance Misuse) Needs in Leicestershire Leicestershire County Council are intending to procure a new Floating Support service for People with Mental Health and Dual Diagnosis (Substance Misuse) Needs. Before the procurement is launched, we will be holding a pre-procurement engagement event with the market, which will focus on supporting market readiness for this new service. The virtual market engagement event is being held on 17 December 2021 and the aim of the event will be to give an overview of the proposed model for delivering a sustainable countywide floating support service. This service is expected to assist people to maintain their own tenancies and to be able to access the correct level of support depending on their fluctuating mental health. It will do this by providing a flexible, "step-up/step-down" model of support that will enable people to live their lives as independently as possible whilst providing support when it is required to prevent the need for residential care or readmission into hospital for this cohort.
