Details

Coventry City Council (the Council) went out to tender for the re-commission of its block contract for the provision of Supported Accommodation and Floating Support services for young people aged 16-24, including Children in Care (CiC), Care Leavers, and Unaccompanied Asylum-Seeking Children (UASC). The procurement included 8 Lots, and the Council did not award 4 of the 8 Lots. The Council would like to engage with the supported accommodation market before going back out to tender for the 4 Lots below:

Lots 1 - 3: 15 solo beds for each Lot (45 beds in total)

Lot 6: 27 shared beds (3/4/5 bed units)

Support Hours: 10 hours/week (first 4 weeks), then 5 hours/week, 24/7 on-call emergency on call support required.

Location Requirement: Within 10 miles of CV1 5RS

This service is mandated under several key legislative frameworks:

  • Children Act 1989 (as amended)
  • Children Act 2004
  • Children and Social Work Act 2017
  • Southwark Judgement (2009)
  • Homelessness Reduction Act 2018

As of October 2023, Supported Accommodation is regulated by Ofsted. Providers must:

  • Be registered or in the process of registering with Ofsted.
  • Comply with The Supported Accommodation (England) Regulations 2023 and any future amendments.

Young people's needs are categorized into six groups:

1. Low support needs - minimal supervision and guidance

2. Complex needs - intensive, specialist support (e.g., mental health, 24/7 care). 3. Mild learning disabilities - enhanced support for daily living and learning.

4. UASC - support with language, cultural integration, and life skills

5. NRPF - independent accommodation with immigration-related support

6. Parent and child - parenting support, attachment development, and service access. Expected outcomes align with Ofsted's principles:

  • Young people feel safe and secure in their environment.
  • Their voices are heard and respected.
  • Support staff are skilled, understanding, and collaborative.
  • Accommodation is comfortable, stable, and well-maintained.
  • Support sustains health and wellbeing.
  • Relationships are trusting and meaningful.
  • Young people are prepared for independent living.
  • They feel positive about their future.
