What is being bought

Published requirement description

Supported Accommodation Pathway for Young People (16-25 years old) with diverse needs in Islington. The aim of the pathway is to provide safe and suitable accommodation and care and support for young people, with a focus on preparing them for independent living. This is a flexible framework arrangement with call off options, for a period of six years, with an estimated start date of 1 April 2026. The initial contracts for up to 100 units of supported accommodation for young people will be awarded as a priority. However, our intention is that the council may utilise call offs over the life of the framework to secure extra provision of up to an additional 100 units of supported accommodation for young people, based on demand.
