Lincolnshire County Council Supported Accommodation 2027

Lincolnshire County Council (LCC) has embarked on a Children in Care (CiC) Transformation Programme which is focused on improving outcomes for children in care by providing the right help, at the right time, in the right place at the right cost and for the right duration. The Council recognise that some young people may need to live in Supported Accommodation and we will strive for them to be placed as close to home as possible where their needs can be best met where they can feel safe and supported within their accommodation, build resilience and are able to maintain good mental health and wellbeing, and transition successfully into adulthood and are able to live independently. The Council has a statutory duty under the Children Act 1989 to assess the needs of homeless Lincolnshire 16-17 year olds, including Children in care (CiC), and ensure they are accommodated appropriately. Following a full scale service review, the Council seek to commission Supported Accommodation for this cohort, the contracts for which will be in place from 1st April 2027 for a period of up to 5 years. The requirement will be commissioned in Lots: Lot 1: Lincolnshire Youth Housing Service for 16-17 year olds - 44 units of self-contained accommodation in 3 locations (Boston, Grantham and Lincoln) including 4 units of solo accommodation for more complex young people - indicative total value over 5 years of PS10.49m Lot 2: Supported Accommodation for 16-17 year olds - 4 units of solo occupancy supported accommodation - indicative total value over 5 years of PS3.548m Lot 3: Supported Accommodation for 16-17 year olds - 4 units of solo occupancy supported accommodation - indicative total value over 5 years of PS3.548m
