Mental Health Supported Living Services

Descriptions

The procurement of mental health supported living services located within the borough to provide support to residents unable to live independently as a result of serious mental illness. These settings are intended for service users with mental ill-health who may have had a significant admission to institutional care under The Mental Health Act. The services aim to offer a viable alternative to residential care settings, delivering support relating to tenancy management, activities of daily living, mental health recovery and any wider support needs such as substance misuse or involvement with the criminal justice system. The Local Authority is seeking to procure three supported living contracts; Lot 1 Huddleston Close (11 high support units) Lot 2 Teresa House (16 high support units) Hamlets Way (16 high support units) Grand Union Place (8 step down units) Lot 3 Cannon Street Road (20 high support units) Successful provider/s will be required to deliver support services to service users that will enable service users to develop the life skills required to maintain their independence within the community thus preventing unnecessary use of more institutional forms of care and hospital admissions.
