Tender: Mental Health Supported Housing — 34 Units across Two Buildings in Hounslow

About

LBH Joint Commissioning is seeking a supplier for a specialist mental health supported accommodation service for vulnerable adults in the London Borough of Hounslow. The service will operate across two buildings providing a total of 34 units and is being re-tendered as a standalone contract after originally being part of a framework tender in August 2025 with a revised requirement. Eligibility has been broadened to providers eligible for exempt accommodation rates of Housing Benefit (Registered Providers of Social Housing, Registered Charities or Community Interest Companies) and bidders must supply a valid registration number to demonstrate at least one relevant status. The service will support adults with severe mental health problems referred by the London Borough of Hounslow, offering 24-hour supported housing with flexible, recovery-focused support, primarily as move-on accommodation for people stepping down from more intensively staffed settings (for example 24-hour supported living or hospital), and in a smaller number of cases as a step up from the wider supported accommodation pathway, mainstream housing or temporary accommodation. The service will promote recovery, wellbeing and independence and meet the Core Specification aims to maximise independence; improve mental and emotional wellbeing; enhance quality of life and reduce social isolation; improve physical wellbeing; move on at the right time; and prevent placement breakdown.
