Telford & Wrekin Council are commissioning a floating housing related support service in 2 contract Lots:

o Lot 1: A young people's and working age (aged 16-54 years) floating housing related support service for people across all tenures (excluding people living in supported housing).

These services are intended to provide:

o High quality personally tailored floating support services to be delivered to those individuals who have an assessed need across Telford and Wrekin.

o The floating support services will be of a preventative nature to help individuals to establish and maintain independence, remain in accommodation and lead fulfilling, healthy and independent lives.

o The floating support services will contribute to preventing and/or minimising the prevalence of homelessness and to the transformation of Adult Social Care Services helping to shift the demand for services by preventing, delaying and reducing unnecessary or early access to Adult Social Care Services and Health services.

We are inviting responses from qualified and competent providers to deliver one or both lots.
