Mental Health Supported Living (Intensive) Service

Tender description

The London Borough of Camden ("The Authority") has awarded a two year and 8 month contract to the incumbent provider to deliver a Mental Health Supported Living in Tile House (Intensive) Service in Camden. Lot 1: The Mental Health Supported Living in Tile House (Intensive) Service offers accommodation and support for adults with serious mental illness (SMI) and complex needs who have lost their tenancies or are unable to live independently, bridging the gap between long stay in hospital and independent living. This type of provision provides a secure environment, key for long term stability and recovery for people with SMI and complex need, offering a smooth transition into the service. The service provides residents with a combination of housing and support to enable them to learn practical skills in a person-centred, strengths-based environment, and prepare them to move on. The service offers 24/7 intensive support, with dedicated onsite clinical staff from Camden and Islington Foundation Trust. The model meets the Council's statutory obligations and aligns with the Council's objectives by providing provision for people eligible for support under the Care Act 2014 who not require personal care, but due their level of need cannot live independently.
