CWC19017/01 Young Persons' Supported Accommodation & Outreach Service and CWC19017/02 Young Families Supported Accommodation & Outreach Service

The City of Wolverhampton Council (CWC) is looking for organisation (s) with a successful track record of providing effective accommodation-based support and outreach support services which meets the identified needs of these client groups. The overarching aim of the services is to provide an effective accommodation-based and outreach support service which meets the identified needs of service users in order to prevent homelessness and support them to be successful and establish and maintain (greater levels of) independence.

The client group consists of care leavers, young families and young people aged 16-25 years with varying levels of need. A fundamental part of service delivery is the provision of a range of suitable, safe and affordable accommodation across the city.

For both services, there is a requirement to secure a minimum of 70 units of accommodation for exclusive use by the identified client group in addition to 2 direct access emergency accommodation units. The young families' accommodation (CWC19017/02 Young Persons' Supported Accommodation & Outreach Service) necessitates the need for 19 self-contained one-bedroomed flats; with high standard of décor with some outdoor space.

The Young Persons' Supported Accommodation & Outreach Service (CWC19027/01) requires 51 units of accommodation. The provision of one-bedroomed self-contained flats would be favored by the City of Wolverhampton Council.

However, the use of block accommodation with shared facilities will be considered but there must be no more than 5 units in a block. A combination of both types of accommodation would be acceptable. This service will be procured under an Open Procedure ( Light Touch Regime) as set out in the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.
