BHCC Multiple and Compound Needs Interim Support and Accommodation Service

This contract is for the provision of a MINIMUM OF 5 UNIT support and accommodation service which aims to stabilise and sustain clients who are unable to access general needs or mainstream supported housing through a personalised, trauma informed model allowing assessment and planning by H&ASC for onward accommodation.

The service will: • Work with partners to ensure effective communication, co-ordination, and collaboration to sustain people with multiple and compound needs in accommodation for assessment and planning. • Deliver a service that is tailored to individual needs. • Deliver a service which represents good value for money for the council. • Enable Service Users to make empowered and positive choices about their future. • Use a personalised and psychologically informed approach to support provision.

This will be a twenty-four-month (two year) contract, without any option to extend beyond this point due to the interim nature of the provision. It is important that organisations deliver an effective contract provision over a period of two years and are confident that resources will continue to be there to support them during this period.
