Tender: Supported Accommodation and HMO Provision for 18–25 Year Olds in North Cheshire (Market Research)

About

Cheshire East Council is seeking accommodation providers to take part in a market research exercise on supported accommodation and Housing in Multiple Occupation (HMO) provision for young people aged 18 to 25 across North Cheshire, including Macclesfield and surrounding areas. The Council wants to engage organisations that currently provide, or are interested in providing, Supported Accommodation and/or HMO accommodation, including those already registered or willing and able to become registered under the Supported Accommodation (England) Regulations and any relevant statutory requirements. The Council has an ongoing need to source accommodation and support for young people with a range of needs—including care leavers, homeless young adults and Unaccompanied Asylum-Seeking Children (UASC)—with provision that promotes independence, wellbeing, education, employment and successful transitions into adult life through safe accommodation combined with effective support. The engagement seeks information on existing provision and capacity, providers' experience with care-experienced young people and UASC, registration status, property portfolios and planned developments, support models and staffing, market appetite for future commissioning or procurement arrangements, and potential barriers, risks and opportunities in the Cheshire East area. Interested providers should register at Project ID DN830467 to download and complete the attached questionnaire; the attached document also includes information on a market research webinar. Completed questionnaires and webinar invitation requests should be e-mailed to [email protected] by 14:00pm 30th September 2026.
