II.1.4) Short description
Portsmouth City Council ('the council') has awarded a contract to provide Adult Mental Health Supported Housing Services.
The service provides housing related support to vulnerable people living independently in supported housing accommodation who are primarily diagnosed with a mental health issue but who also may also have substance misuse and other support needs which impacts on their ability to live independent meaningful lives. Individuals are supported to learn and develop life skills to aid moving on to more independent living and therefore reducing the need for more institutionalised settings.
This contract is set out in two distinct but interrelated elements, as follows:
PART 1 - Twelve (12) high support (24/7 support) placements, accommodated within properties leased from Vivid.
PART 2 - Seventeen (17) lower-level support placements, accommodated within properties leased from Vivid and PCC.
The council awarded the contract on 1 August 2024 to allow for service commencement on 1 November 2024. The contract will be let for an initial term of 3 years which may then run for a further 3 years in increments set by the Council to a total maximum term of 6 years, subject to performance and at the sole option of the Council.
The estimated maximum value of the contract overall is
£2,786,091.90 (equating to around £464,348.65 per annum) based on the current contract. It is split as follows:
PART 1 - £1,403,525.16 (equating to £233,920.86 per annum)
PART 2 - £1,382,566.74 (equating to £230,427.79 per annum)
The total contract value is expected to remain in the region of £464,348.65 per annum for the term of the contract, however it may increase or decrease throughout the contract term subject to any known or unknown changes to service demand, budget allocation, variation of services, or addition of further associated services in order to meet changes in demand or the service delivery.

II.2.4) Description of the procurement
This Service will provide preventative housing related support to people with enduring mental health and other related complex issues. Individuals are supported to learn and develop life skills to aid moving on to more independent living and therefore reducing the need for more institutionalised settings.
The Service helps to improve the personal health and wellbeing of individuals whilst living in a supported housing environment and helps reduce the resource burden on statutory services provided by the Council and from other agencies. Without this Service, the council would need to increase provision in more institutionalised settings, very likely at a higher cost than this contract.
This provision will be part of a programme of continued transformation of supported living mental health services for vulnerable adults within the city, aimed at improving outcomes for individuals, increasing supported living capacity and creating better accommodation environments conducive to mental health recovery.
This specific tender will focus on the mental health services currently being delivered under contract within specific accommodation units over various buildings in the city. Support length is dependent upon person centred planning with the ethos that individuals should be supported no more or less intensively, or for length of time than necessary. It is designed to enable individuals to achieve a more independent lifestyle through the identification of life goals, aspirations and the building of independent living skills. It also prevents the need for them to access more expensive institutional support settings as a result of homelessness or deterioration in health and wellbeing.
The service will also provide tenancy sustainment, budget management and benefits work; risk management and advice; help to better manage mental health, substance misuse and physical health issues; support to reduce overall debt; and support to participate in chosen work, training or voluntary activities.
This contract will sit alongside another contract being operated by Two Saints Limited, this being PART 3 of the AMH Supported Housing Pathway. All three elements currently operate as a single contract but it was felt necessary to split off PART 3 from the rest of this Pathway given matters surrounding the ownership of the properties comprising PART 3.
Our longer-term ambition, in doing this, is to secure property not tied to specific support providers within this marketplace from which this PART 3 element could be delivered in future. This ensures a level playing field will be created as support providers would not, in future, need extensive property portfolios in order to submit bids for the PART 3 element within the AMH Supported Housing Pathway.
