The Borough Council of Calderdale (the Council) invites Tenders from Tenderers who wish to be considered for the provision of Personal Support in Supported Living Services (Approved Provider List) (‘’the Service’’) Lot 3 is for Tenants with complex disability and/or mental health needs. It is anticipated that the contract will commence on the 1st of April 2023 for a period of eight (8) years with an option to extend for one (1) further period of 24 months. Supported Living is a combination of housing and support for people with a learning disability and/or mental health needs. This model of support allows people to have their own tenancies with a Registered Social Landlord and receive support to live their lives and be as independent as possible. Support includes personal care and tenancy related support. The vision for supported living is to make sure that adults are able to have an independent life, within their own home, live within their community and with assistance from support staff they are able to do this. The Provider should provide a person-centred service for adults (‘’Tenants’’) with assessed eligible social care needs who live in supported accommodation. It shall focus on what Tenants can do for themselves either independently or through natural networks of support. There will be an emphasis on skills to strengthen a Tenant’s independence and rebuilding a Tenant’s confidence thereby maximising their independence.
