The project is categorised under social work services with accommodation and is set across several geographical locations, including Hart & Rushmoor, Test Valley, New Forest, and Havant, Fareham, and Gosport within the region of UKJ. The procurement employed an open procedure with a focus on services in multi-occupancy settings and aims to increase independence skills among its users. The contracted services are scheduled to commence on 1st July 2025 and will run for a period of three years, with potential extensions up to a maximum of five years. The awards have been finalised with active contracts amounting to significant financial investment across involved lots, demonstrating commitment to enhancing social care services. This procurement process provides growth opportunities for businesses specialising in social services and accommodation solutions, particularly those capable of offering personalised and outcome-focused support to young individuals transitioning to independent living. Ideal contenders for such tenders would be established providers with a robust infrastructure for short-term intensive care, verified qualifications (such as Ofsted Registration), and a strategic approach to delivering person-centred care. Businesses like STEP BY STEP PARTNERSHIP LIMITED and Alabare have successfully leveraged this opportunity, indicating the competitive landscape and the potential for suppliers to expand their market presence and enhance service delivery within the social care sector. ## Notice Hampshire County Council (the "Council") has awarded four contracts for High Intensity Supported Accommodation with Floating Support, for young people aged 16-21, for whom the Council has a duty to offer accommodation. These are block contract agreements, across four Lots. Each contract is for an initial period of 3 years, with 2 further extensions of 1 year each, to a maximum of 5 years in total. The contracts will start on 01 July 2025. These High Intensity placements are for those young people who require short-term intensive support (from 5 to 20 hours per week) or floating support before transitioning to independent living or lower levels of supported accommodation, such as supported or low lodging. High Intensity Supported Accommodation provides accommodation with support for 16 and 17 year-old Looked After Children and Care Leavers (18-21 years old), to enable them to live independently. Additionally, this service provides Supported Accommodation for Separated Children. The High Intensity service provides short-term, person-centred, and outcome-focused support in multi-occupancy settings. Service Providers will offer accommodation and support aimed at increasing independence skills within a year, promoting engagement with Education, Employment, or Training (EET), and facilitating the transition to more independent living arrangements. The High Intensity Service will be provided in suitable accommodation settings, such as shared houses with communal living facilities. ### Lot Information Hart and Rushmoor This procurement was conducted as an Open Procedure.
