    "description": "Tendring District Council is undertaking a market engagement exercise to inform the potential future procurement of a Parent and Child Supported Housing service within the district. The service is intended to support vulnerable parents and their children who require additional assistance to maintain safe and stable family living arrangements.\nThe service will provide suitable, child-friendly accommodation alongside intensive, trauma-informed and person-centred support, helping families to develop parenting capacity, sustain tenancies, improve wellbeing, and plan for independent living. Delivery will require experienced providers with robust safeguarding arrangements, appropriately qualified staff, and strong partnership working across statutory and voluntary agencies.\nTendring has experienced an increase in young parents presenting as homeless or at risk due to domestic abuse, family breakdown, or lack of suitable accommodation. This has highlighted the need for a dedicated supported housing scheme combining accommodation with holistic support.\nThe Council is particularly interested in solutions that:\nProvide safe, secure accommodation for vulnerable parents, including expectant parents\nDeliver integrated support (e.g. parenting skills, tenancy management, budgeting, education/training)\nImprove family stability and reduce homelessness\nEnable move-on into independent accommodation\nOffer a minimum of 8 units\nInclude either existing suitable properties or refurbishment opportunities\nDemonstrate clear monitoring and evaluation of outcomes",
