Provision of Moving On Service for Families Facing Eviction by South Kesteven District Council

About

South Kesteven District Council awarded a contract to Living Concepts for a structured and proactive Move-On Service to assist families facing eviction in securing alternative accommodation before eviction occurs.

The service includes mediation efforts to sustain tenancies where possible and support for families in finding and moving into new homes.

SKDC officers refer families with their permission.

Living Concepts works closely with families to assess tenancy situations, explore affordability for future housing, and leverage local contacts to identify and secure alternative accommodation, such as private rented, social rented, or supported accommodation, subject to suitability assessment.

The supplier is required to have local service provision knowledge.

The hands-on approach ensures families remain proactive in their housing search, reducing homelessness risk and alleviating pressure on local authorities and support services.

The contract value is £120,000, procured under PA 2023 via ITT.
