Tender description

The London Borough Bromley (‘The Council’) is inviting tenders for the provision of high-quality tenancy sustainment services for young people including care leavers and homeless young people aged 16+. The current service provides support for 59 units and 112 hours of floating support per week with 6 of these units being exclusively for the use of teenage parents. Following a review of the Service, the Council is seeking to reduce the number of units to 41 with the potential to deliver floating support on a spot purchase basis. The existing units are located within the borough with a number of Registered Social Landlords, however the Council is willing to review the use of these units should a potential tender offer alternative safe accommodation. The service will assist the Council to meet its statutory obligations to young people who: — Have a local connection as defined by the Council's allocation policy; — Is 16 -21 years; — Has a demonstrable need for a level of support that can be appropriately met in the Service; — Is a young person at risk; or — Is leaving care; or — Is at risk of re-offending; or — Is a teenage parent. The aim of the service is to ensure the young people are protected and enabled to live independently through the provision of quality support services.
