Description

Slough Borough Council is seeking to commission suitably experienced provider(s) for a mental health supported accommodation service across two lots for adults with severe and enduring mental illness. The service will cover: Lot 1 – High-Support Step-Down Mental Health Supported Accommodation (accommodation-based, 24/7 staffing, waking night cover) for people stepping down from hospital or similar intensive settings (up to 10 beds) Lot 2a – Medium-High Support Mental Health Supported Accommodation for people who no longer require high support but still need a structured, staffed environment (up to 10 beds). Lot 2b – Low Support Step-Down Accommodation with Floating Support for people preparing to move on to fully independent living, with time-limited, tapered outreach support (up to 6 beds). The services will be required to operate across three or more buildings in Slough, providing self-contained accommodation with integrated housing-related support, recovery-focused key-working and strong links with Community Mental Health Services, primary care and wider community resources. The pathway is designed to: enable timely, safe discharge from hospital and prevent avoidable admission promote recovery, wellbeing and independence reduce out-of-area placements and long-term institutional care improve tenancy sustainment and prevent homelessness reduce use of crisis and inpatient services The main role of the Lots, taken together, is to provide a step-down and progression pathway from higher levels of support into ordinary housing, with time-limited resettlement support after move-on. The contract will commence on 1 July 2026 for a one year period with an option to extend for a further 12 months. We are holding a Supplier Engagement event on 19th December 2025 at 10am. Further details are in the ITT.
