St Ives Town Council is seeking project support from suitably qualified and experienced individual(s) to assist in the delivery of an innovative housing enabling project - the Pioneering Parish project. The vision for the project is to develop a range of tools and interventions to support and accelerate the delivery of affordable and local needs housing and associated community infrastructure for the St Ives Parish. The project aims to apply innovation and flexibility to find local solutions which best meet community aspiration and the homes which St Ives' needs. The project will utilise planning contributions collected for the St Ives Parish, by Cornwall Council, specifically to enable the delivery of affordable housing. The project is a partnership between the Town Council and Cornwall Council to identify, de-risk and assist in the progress and / or delivery of 250 affordable housing plots within the parish of St Ives. It is expected to run for up to 3 years and will include the following key outputs and outcomes: • A deliverable supply of sites and opportunities for a minimum of 250 affordable homes • A RAG assessment of the most deliverable sites with timescales and agreed action plans for each • A schedule of sites and for each, a suitable set of delivery tools with the aim of accelerating delivery. Tools will vary from site to site but, in general could comprise of • A completed development brief capable of being adopted/ recognised by the planning authority • Completed supporting studies or documents with the aim of re-risking a planning application or delivery • Planning permission (planning in principle, outline or detailed) • Site purchase / Land owner / affordable housing provider heads of terms for agreement • Land owner collaboration agreements • Cornwall Council approval for land transfer • Completed economic viability assessments with agreed affordable housing outputs aligned to housing need and adopted policy • A proactive delivery board with a key objective of accelerating delivery of affordable and local needs homes • The completion of a neigbhourhood priorities statement subject to community consultation. Required Resources Dedicated people resources are identified as the key success factor. Expressions of interest are, therefore, sought from suitably experienced and qualified individuals, freelancers or consultancies. The Council is adopting an open approach to resourcing solutions and welcomes proposals which could see the project scope delivered in the following ways: • An individual seeking a short term contract of employment • A fixed term contract with a freelance consultant • An award to an established consultancy with the relevant skills and a commitment to fund the necessary hours. Project Duration In order to progress and de-risk sites and opportunities, the project is proposed to extend over three years. However, these timescales are flexible and can be reduced, should the project outputs and outcomes be achieved over a shorter period, by being resourced differently. It is anticipated that the likely pace of the project will require a part time project lead, equivalent to 2.5 days a week, to be reviewed annually. However, depending upon how the people resources are procured, this may be on an annualised-hours basis of approximately 975 per year. Funding The business plan sets out an indicative allocation of funding for the project resource's hours of up to £100,000, plus a separate budget of up to £150,000 in order to commission / procure necessary advice, technical reports and support planning applications and community engagement. These estimates are indicative and may be varied by negotiation. Should a member of staff be recruited to the Council establishment, the role will be aligned with the Town Council's adopted pay structure.

The Multiple Disadvantage and Housing Support Service, will work in a streamlined and holistic manner across the area of Sheffield. It will provide holistic and multi-faceted floating support to people who experience multiple disadvantage – officially defined as a co-morbidity of homelessness/housing insecurity, mental health needs, substance use, involvement with the criminal justice system and domestic abuse – often further compounded by additional factors such as trauma, poverty, discrimination and stigma. The integrated service will aim to prevent and tackle multiple disadvantage, whilst recognising the intersectionality and compounding impact of the areas of need outlined above. The service will build on local learning from the Changing Futures programme and aligns with the city’s strategy Coordination from Complexity (2025–2030), consultation findings, and the Alliance Commissioning Vision. It will provide a clear, equitable and trauma-informed offer across three pathways: (1) Young People aged 16–25 (2) Adults aged 25+ (3) Recovery and Co-production (all ages). This contract is being awarded as an alliance contract, which means the Council expects tender responses to be submitted on behalf of groups of suppliers that are able collectively to deliver the Services.

The purpose of this service is to provide high-quality, integrated accommodation, housing-related support, care and mental health support for adults with complex and multiple needs. The service is intended to support people who are unable to sustain independent living without specialist accommodation-based support and who may also require specialist care, mental health support or other interventions as a person with eligible Care Act needs, or a person at risk of developing eligible Care Act needs if suitable stable accommodation cannot be secured. The service should, where required, include elements of a domestic support service to reduce the need for people to access residential care services by supporting residents to maintain their independence.

This Tender forms part of the wider Housing Related Services which are being procured separately in further lotted procurement exercise(s) in late summer and autumn 2026.

Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust recognises the significant role that suitable accommodation, housing stability and social inclusion play in supporting individuals to live independently, participate within their communities and maintain sustainable tenancies. Access to safe, affordable and appropriate accommodation is a key factor in improving wellbeing, reducing social exclusion and supporting positive life outcomes. Housing instability is frequently associated with increased reliance on statutory services, tenancy breakdown and barriers to independent living. The service is required for eligible adults leaving LPFT inpatient and rehabilitation services who need accommodation-transition and tenancy support. It will be used by Service Users, authorised LPFT referral teams and partner agencies involved in discharge, housing, welfare, health and social care. The required model will maintain the core accommodation-sourcing, discharge and tenancy-sustainment service while strengthening measurable outcomes, tenancy sustainment at 3, 6 and 12 months, Service User experience, accommodation-sourcing timescales, void management, equality analysis and value-for-money assurance. The current service is an established provision. Commissioned capacity is 15 active concurrent Service Users; recent performance information reports average occupancy of 93%, 27 referrals since April 2024, a 74% acceptance rate and positive move-on outcomes for all recorded Service Users. The service supports broader integrated system objectives by improving access to housing options, tenancy sustainment services and coordinated support arrangements across Lincolnshire. It also supports national and local priorities to move support from hospital to community, prevent avoidable delay, improve independence, address housing as a determinant of health and enable people to live well in their communities.

Caerphilly County Borough Council is seeking to appoint a suitably qualified organisation to deliver the Let's Talk Money Debt and Housing Support Service. The service is jointly funded through the Housing Support Grant (HSG) and the Children’s and Communities Grant (CCG – Families First) and is designed to support individuals and families experiencing financial instability where debt is a primary driver of housing risk, homelessness, or wider family instability. The service is referral‑led, accessed primarily through the Housing Support Gateway, and is specifically designed for individuals and families who do not engage well with appointment‑based or advice‑only services. This includes people who are homeless, living in temporary accommodation, sofa surfing, or experiencing complex needs. The Authority is seeking to appoint a suitable Provider to deliver a targeted, debt‑led housing support service for people aged 16 years and over living within the Caerphilly County Borough. The aim of the service is to prevent homelessness, sustain tenancies, and improve family resilience through hands‑on, needs‑led and practical support delivered via a single lead worker model. This includes financial capability and budgeting support, managing debt by securing viable debt solution options, and addressing housing‑related issues that may impact financial stability or tenancy sustainment. The service will provide income maximisation support, benefit entitlement checks, welfare benefit applications, mandatory reconsiderations and appeals where these relate to individuals already receiving support through the service and where debt-related financial instability remains the primary presenting issue. Referrals relating solely to welfare benefit support, welfare rights issues, mandatory reconsiderations, or appeals, where debt-related financial instability is not the primary presenting issue, will be allocated through the Housing Support Gateway to the appropriate Provider. The service is not intended to operate as an advice-only provision. Whilst advise forms part of the support offer, the primary purpose of the contract is to deliver practical housing-related support that promotes financial stability, tenancy sustainment and long-term independence. While the service promotes independence, the Provider must deliver supported actions where vulnerability, complexity or executive‑function barriers prevent individuals from completing tasks independently. Client groups (the list is not exhaustive) may include: • Individuals aged 16 years and over requiring support to manage their finances. • Individuals at risk of losing their tenancy due to financial pressures, including rent arrears. • Single people • Families with support needs • Individuals with disabilities, including mental health conditions, physical disabilities, dementia, and acquired brain injuries. • Individuals with learning disabilities or developmental disorders • Individuals with complex needs, including substance misuse. The Service must take a proactive and preventative approach, supporting individuals to build long-term financial resilience reduce debt, prevent homelessness, and sustain tenancies. Housing instability and financial instability are often interconnected; therefore, the service must address both areas holistically. This specification is outcome‑based. The Provider must deliver an effective, high‑quality service that achieves positive outcomes and demonstrates value for money. As individuals become more stable and independent, support must be appropriately tapered to reflect changing need. The service will deliver a lead-worker model incorporating: • Debt-focused housing support • FCA-regulated debt advice • Financial capability and budgeting support • Income maximisation • Welfare benefit support • Housing-related support linked to financial instability • Home visit and outreach-based engagement • Tenancy sustainment and homelessness prevention The service is designed to support individuals and families who may struggle to engage with traditional advice-based services, including those experiencing homelessness, living in temporary accommodation, sofa surfing, poor mental health, substance misuse, neurodiversity or other complex needs.

Renfrewshire Council has an existing Flexible Framework ("framework") for the provision of Care at Home and Housing Support Services under the direction of Renfrewshire Health and Social Care Partnership (RHSCP). The framework allows RHSCP to purchase services to support (predominantly older) people to live independently in their own homes for as long as possible with the care and support they need being tailored to them, provided in a tailored and responsive manner. There may also be the occasional requirement for a Renfrewshire Council Children’s Services to arrange support services for a child. The Service is delivered 24 hours per day, 52 weeks per year including public holidays. The size of each individual package of care varies and is dependent on the individual’s assessed needs and outcomes. As the services provided by this framework fall within the ‘Social and Other Specific Services’ category, and it is subject to the procurement regimes set out in section 7, Social and Other Specific Services, both of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015, a flexible approach was designed which allows “new entrants” to apply to be on the framework throughout the duration, as and when determined by RHSCP. RHSCP now wish to reopen the framework to new entrants, to ensure capacity to deliver services across Renfrewshire. The process followed will be the same process used to appoint the original providers. Any tenderer bidding for appointment to the framework will be required to satisfy the same minimum criteria as those awarded a place under the original tender process. INTERESTED PARTIES MUST READ THE Invitation to Tender document FOR FULL DETAILS OF THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS FRAMEWORK. - Technical and Professional Ability (2 examples of previous experience of delivering similar services.

Any Tenderer who does not meet the minimum requirements will not be eligible for appointment to the Flexible Framework but may participate in any future reopening of the Flexible Framework when these requirements have been met.

Hertfordshire County Council is procuring a delivery partner for a new Supported Housing scheme at Westbury, Letchworth. The project forms part of the Council's wider five-year programme to increase the supply and quality of supported living accommodation for disabled adults and its Extra Care Housing Programme, which aims to provide modern, accessible homes that promote independence and wellbeing for older people who require care and support. The Council's preferred approach is to work with a Registered Provider that can bring development expertise, long-term ownership and housing management experience, supported by Homes England funding and Registered Provider investment alongside Council resources. The successful partner would develop, own and manage the accommodation on Council-owned land under a long lease arrangement. The Council is currently undertaking preparatory work on the site and expects to progress design and enabling works during 2025/26, with construction planned from 2026 onwards and completion between 2027 and 2030. Outline planning permission is expected to be secured through North Hertfordshire District Council, with any necessary enabling works undertaken to facilitate delivery of the scheme. Hertfordshire County Council (the “Council”) is a large shire county in the south-east of England with a population of 1.2 million. Hertfordshire is a two-tier authority with 10 district and borough councils providing complementary local services to residents. In February 2025, the Council launched a five-year delivery plan to increase the supply and quality of supported living accommodation in Hertfordshire and, in doing so, deliver wider health and wellbeing outcomes to meet the existing and future demand for disabled adults in Hertfordshire by 2030.  The programme responds to current and future demand, including people who currently live in unsuitable existing HCC accommodation, people living with their family who now need a home of their own, people in residential care whose needs could be met in supported living, and people living outside Hertfordshire who wish to return. The Supported Living Delivery Programme is intended to replace outdated accommodation, improve quality and accessibility, support independence, and provide modern homes.   The Council’s Extra Care delivery programme focusses on the provision of modern, accessible homes across the county that support independent living for older people and adults with care needs. By increasing the supply of Extra Care housing, the council aims to meet growing demand, promote well-being and independence, reduce reliance on residential care and ensure residents can remain in their communities while receiving flexible support tailored to their changing needs. The programme is responding to significant demographic growth, with evidence indicating a need for around 8,000 additional Extra care units by 2042, including approximately 1,800 affordable homes.   The Council’s preferred delivery approach is to work with Registered Providers who can bring housing development expertise, long-term ownership and housing management experience. This approach is intended to support delivery at pace while also making use of Homes England funding and Registered Provider investment alongside Council resources. The Council is exploring the best approach to work with developing Registered Providers (both Housing Associations and Local Authorities) (‘RPs’) to deliver, own and manage accommodation on Council owned land via a long lease (virtual freehold).    The Council is currently undertaking preparatory work on the Westbury site which is Council owned with a view to progressing design and enabling works during 2026-27, construction in 2027/28 – 2028/29 and phased completion and handover in 2028–30.   The Council anticipates obtaining outline planning approval for the site via the Local Planning Authority at North Herts District Council and undertaking enabling works where required to bring the site forward.  The Council seeks submissions from a Registered Provider partner to deliver, own and manage supported living accommodation at the Westbury Site.
