UK Public Sector Contracts & Tenders

Our aspiration is to have all supported living placements made through the framework where providers have equal opportunity to bid for work and people who draw on services have choice over who, where and how they are supported to live. Solihull wants people to receive the support they need, when they need it and for as long as it is needed. We want people to maximise their independence and remain in their homes for as long they want to or can do so We want to work with providers who can demonstrably support people to achieve their outcomes and seek solutions when challenges and issues arise that affect the existing support plan.

Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council are interested in assessing the market to determine what model would be most effective in delivering of a Specialist Perpetrator Intervention and Disruption service. We want to hear from specialist providers with expertise in delivering perpetrator intervention and disruption services to support the reduction of domestic abuse–related harm in Solihull. We are also interested to hear from organisations who deliver Perpetrator Intervention and Disruption services elsewhere.

The Council is intending to commission information and advice services for people in Solihull to meet the needs of Adult Social Care, offering a general advice service which is accessible to residents, alongside targeted, specialist services delivered to communities. The scope of the service is currently under review and may contain: Improved health and wellbeing – for example, tenancy advice and support, safe housing support, supporting people in food poverty, supporting people in crisis to access further support, support to people with cognitive impairment, mental health guidance, low level information and guidance for those with long term conditions and disability, promoting healthy lifestyles, information and guidance on direct payments. Increased capacity and ability to cope – connecting people with community groups, support to retain safe housing, self-advocacy, work with other local support offers, identify national support offers, support refugee and migrant communities with guidance on visas, work rights, immigration status etc., support for carers. Increased financial stability and resilience – early access to debt support and advice, support with completing forms for financial support, LPA, deputyship and appointeeship applications, budget planning and support, debt and benefits low level and specialist support, distribution of grant funding on behalf of the Council.
