2425-0537 Housing Management Service - Beaumont Rise Mental Health Supported Living Scheme

Housing Management services are required for a new, council-owned, purpose-built block for a Mental Health Supported Living service. The housing block is made up of 17 studio flats along with communal spaces and laundry facilities, office and meeting room. The housing management provider will:

• Assume responsibility for a full internal repairing lease for the property, covering all internal repairs and maintenance (excluding anything for which tenants are individually responsible in line with their tenancy agreement).
• Provide assured shorthold tenancies to adults with mental health issues, under the sole nomination rights of Islington Council’s adult social care, and collect applicable rents.
• Establish a Service Level Agreement (SLA) or sublease with the care and support provider for their exclusive use areas – particularly office space.
• Oversee all health and safety checks and processes.
• Return an agreed ‘landlord’s charge’ to Islington Council, which equals the total rent collected minus an agreed percentage to cover the tenancy and housing management functions.
