## Summary

Hampshire County Council has conducted a procurement process for a High Intensity Supported Accommodation service, focusing on young people aged 16-21. This initiative includes floating support for transitioning individuals towards independent living. The service will be delivered across three geographical areas within Hampshire, known as areas A, B, and C. With the procurement stage now complete, contracts have been awarded, and the service is set to commence on 1st April 2026. The contract spans an initial period of 2 years and 3 months, extendable annually up to a maximum of 4 years and 3 months. Conducted under an open procedure, the process ensures transparency and competitiveness in selecting qualified service providers under a special 'light touch' regime.

This tender presents significant opportunities for providers specialising in social care services with accommodation. Businesses offering Ofsted-registered services and possessing suitable properties will find this contract particularly beneficial. By engaging in this project, organisations can contribute to enhancing the independence of young people, all while promoting education, employment, and training. SMEs and large entities alike, especially those with prior expertise in supported accommodation, are appropriately positioned to benefit from the long-term stability and potential expansion afforded by this contract. Given the substantial total contract value, participation might also bolster the providers' strategic positioning within the public authority sector.

## Notice

Hampshire County Council (the "Council") has awarded contracts for High Intensity Supported Accommodation Services, for young people aged 16-21, for whom the Council has a duty to offer accommodation. These are block contract agreements, across three Geographical Areas. This contract is for an initial period of 2 years and 3 months, with 2 further 1 year extensions available. The contract will start on 01 April 2026. 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 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, and all providers have the appropriate Ofsted registration. This procurement was conducted as an Open Procedure. At contract award stage, we offered contracts to four suppliers, however two suppliers withdrew their offers prior to contract signing. Hence the discrepancy between the Contract Award Notice and the Contract Details Notices.
