909/2020 DPS 3 Lot 2 - Housing Related Support

The London Borough of Croydon is seeking providers with relevant experience to tender to join a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to supply Housing Related Support.

Housing Related Support can be delivered as visiting support or can be accommodation based. Where it is accommodation based, it can be designated as 'Supported Exempt Accommodation' as such housing benefit can paid at an enhanced rate to cover the intensive housing management necessary to support these vulnerable people.

This Lot also includes floating support services. Floating/flexible support services are housing related support services delivered to people in their own homes. The support is not linked to the accommodation so when the support is no longer required it can be moved to another service user.

Providers can apply for one or more Service Categories (sub-lots) for Housing Related Support.

The 5 Service Categories for Lot 2 are as follows:

1. Single Homeless, Ex-Offenders and Rough Sleepers
2. Women who have experienced or are at risk of domestic abuse and sexual violence
3. Single homeless with experience of psychological trauma, complex mental health issues, alcohol and drug misuse, and/or neuro-developmental disorders and/or physical disabilities
4. Adults who require longer term accommodation based support services (mainly older people)
5. Floating support

Further information can be obtained via the specification available with the tender documentation.
