SUPPORTED LIVING

Tenders by region

Greater London boroughs run high-volume supported-living frameworks and call-offs, covering complex mental-health, LD/ASD, young-people leaving care and homelessness pathways.

Demand is very high and churn means spot placements can mobilise in days through existing provider lists; however, new framework entrants face rigorous vetting.

Many London procurements delineate non-regulated housing support lots where unregistered providers can operate, but contracts demand strong safeguarding, interface with health/NHS teams and clear escalation for any personal-care needs. Competition is intense; local credibility and partnership arrangements materially speed mobilisation.

In the East of England, district and unitary councils commission supported accommodation for adults with LD, autism and older adults with physical needs, often through housing-led frameworks.

Demand is moderate but housing availability (especially rural) affects mobilisation—urban authorities mobilise quicker; rural schemes need longer to recruit/stage properties.

Unregistered providers commonly supply tenancy sustainment, life-skills coaching and lower-level mental-health support under council lots that explicitly exclude regulated personal care. Councils emphasise outcome measurement and coordination with housing and social-care teams before placements are confirmed.

Councils and housing associations in the South East commission supported living for adults with LD, autism and mental-health needs; transition placements for 16–25s are common.

High property costs can slow mobilisation where accommodation sourcing is required; spot placements in existing stock remain quickest.

Unregistered providers are typically eligible for tenancy-support, outreach and housing-related support lots; contracting expects documented pathways to registered care for personal-care escalation and demonstration of safeguarding, training and landlord-engagement arrangements before placements proceed.

Supported-living tenders in the South West cover adults with LD, physical disabilities and older adults needing housing plus support.

Demand is moderate and geographically dispersed; rural/coastal areas face property and staffing shortages that extend mobilisation timelines, whereas city areas mobilise faster. Councils separate accommodation-only and supported-living lots, enabling unregistered providers to deliver tenancy sustainment, independent-living coaching and non-regulated mental-health support.

Contracts require local authority checks, evidence of outcomes and partnership plans with registered providers where personal care might be required.

The West Midlands has high commissioning volume in metropolitan areas creates steady demand for supported-living placements for adults with learning disabilities, complex needs and mental-health profiles.

Councils and housing partners use frameworks and spot purchasing: urgent placements can mobilise fast, but new contract start-ups require weeks for vetting and property set-up.

Unregistered suppliers find opportunities in tenancy management, housing-related support and step-down services; contracts usually require clear escalation to registered clinicians/providers for personal-care needs and robust safeguarding evidence prior to placement.

East Midlands councils increasingly use flexible open frameworks for supported living covering adults and young people (16+), focusing on independence, tenancy support and assessed-need packages. Common cohorts include adults with LD/ASD, younger people leaving children’s services, and people with physical disabilities.

Mobilisation times depend on property readiness and DBS/safer-recruitment checks; DPS admission speeds up call-offs once compliance evidence is accepted.

Unregistered providers typically bid for non-personal support lots or partnered delivery with registered care providers when personal care may be required.

The Yorkshire & the Humber councils use open frameworks and DPSs for supported living across the region, with tenders targeting adults with learning disabilities, autism, complex needs and young-people pathways.

Demand is mixed—urban centres busy; rural areas have fewer properties—so mobilisation varies: spot placements can be quick, framework call-offs take longer while providers demonstrate staffing and safeguarding.

Local frameworks explicitly separate supported-living and accommodation-only lots so unregistered providers often secure housing-related support roles or tenancy sustainment, but must show partnership arrangements for any regulated care needs.

Councils in the North East run supported-living call-offs and spot placements for adults with learning disabilities, mental-health needs and young-people transitions.

Demand is steady with pockets of rural supply shortage; mobilisation for spot purchases can be days, while framework admissions take weeks to evidence staffing and property readiness. Many procurements separate tenancy-sustainment and housing-related support from personal-care lots, so unregistered providers typically bid for tenancy/independence support and pathway roles rather than regulated personal care.

Expect tight safeguarding and accommodation standards set by local authorities before placements proceed.

North West authorities operate regional purchasing systems and flexible purchasing systems for young-person and adult supported accommodation, producing regular opportunities for non-registered housing-support providers.

Demand is high in urban centres; spot placements mobilise rapidly through established provider lists, but framework inclusion requires application and quality checks. Typical client profiles include 16–25 transitions, adults with LD/ASD and mental-health needs.

Unregistered suppliers commonly deliver housing-related support, move-on services and tenancy management—while escalation routes to CQC-registered partners are required if personal care becomes necessary.
