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 and 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 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: Lot 1: Lincolnshire Youth Housing Service - 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 £13.57m (inc VAT) Lot 2: Supported Accommodation - 4 units of solo occupancy supported accommodation - indicative total value over 5 years of £4.67m (inc VAT) Lot 3: Supported Accommodation - 4 units of solo occupancy supported accommodation - indicative total value over 5 years of £4.67m (inc VAT) Suppliers are able to tender for all relevant Lots if appropriate, and will be part of a wider range of Supported Accommodation that includes the Council's in-house provisions and individually commissioned solo Independent Supported Accommodation placements. All Suppliers wishing to tender must be registered with Ofsted as a Supported Accommodation provider in accordance with the Supported Accommodation (England) Regulations 2023.

Following feedback from pre-market engagement, the Council reserves the right to extend the start date for Lot 3 to up to 1st October 2027.
