The planned framework covers four service areas. Supported accommodation for young people aged 16 to 35, prioritising 16 to 21-year-olds, will provide housing support and move-on outreach. A second supported accommodation service will serve single people, couples and families aged 16 and over. Community-based tenancy support will help people prevent homelessness, sustain accommodation and live independently. Housing First will provide flexible, intensive, person-centred, long-term support for adults with recurrent homelessness and multiple, complex needs, including health, wellbeing and community integration support. This is a planning-stage provider information event, not an invitation to tender. Falkirk Council expects to re-tender the framework after its existing arrangement expires, using an anticipated start date of 1 April 2027. The estimated total value is £6.6 million. The framework is planned to contain four lots: supported accommodation for young people; supported accommodation for single people, couples and families; tenancy support; and Housing First services. Falkirk Council expects to publish the next notice on 9 October 2026. The online information event is scheduled for 15 September 2026 at 10am and will last approximately one hour. Providers wishing to attend were asked to register by 10 September 2026. The planned framework will suit organisations already delivering homelessness services, supported housing, tenancy sustainment or Housing First provision. Relevant providers will need to work effectively with people who are homeless, at risk of homelessness or moving towards independent living, including young people, families and adults with recurrent homelessness and multiple complex needs. Experience of accommodation-based support, outreach, short-term task-based interventions and long-term intensive support would align with the stated service requirements. Housing First specialists should be able to provide flexible, person-centred assistance and work through a multi-agency approach involving housing, health and community services. Organisations able to demonstrate practical support for tenancy sustainment, resilience, independence and sustainable housing outcomes should monitor the forthcoming competition. ## Notice This Prior Information Notice relates to a Provider Information Event only in relation to a Falkirk Council Framework Agreement for the Provision of Homeless Supported Accommodation, Outreach Tenancy Support and Housing First Services.
