AT1115 Supported Living for People with Mental Health Needs

This Supported Living Project will involve the restricted (2 stage) procurement of an Approved Provider List (APL) for the provision of Care Quality Commission (CQC) Regulated and Non-CQC Regulated Adult Supported Living Placements for Luton residents who have an assessed mental health need. Eligible Adults will be those whose needs are assessed as best met through Supported Living and it will therefore be a requirement of the service specification that the Service Provider can deliver support to people with a wide range of presentations.

The aim of this project is to secure a robust list of providers; skilled to deliver high quality, personalised care and flexibility, supporting individuals to develop their social, emotional, communication and independent living skills. Provision must be delivered within the borough of Luton, in exceptional circumstances where the business need allows this area can be extended to within 12 miles of Luton Town Hall (LU1 2BQ).
