Social work and related services

Description

Housing Related Support Services (Accommodation Based and Floating Support) provide short term housing support to help vulnerable people to improve their quality of life and live, or continue to live, independently. Suffolk County Council are tendering for a Framework Agreement that will re-shape services to ensure they can be accessed by people across the County when they need short term housing support and focus use of available resources in a fair and transparent way. The aim is to procure a service model that will meet the following objectives: — Services that are in-line with Supporting Lives Connecting Communities (SLCC) and Making Every Intervention Count (MEIC) principles and models; — Services that offer people as much control over the choice and delivery of services as possible, including uptake of personal budgets and direct payments, where appropriate; — Services that deliver measurable person-centred outcomes that will be identified and monitored; — Service costs and charges will reflect market norms; — Services that demonstrate clear service pathways for people who need short term housing support that minimise repeat admissions, make best use of limited resources and ensure fair and transparent access to available services; — Services are provided in a fair and transparent way to people with an identified short term housing support need.
