Decisions on how the authorities proceed will be made late March 2026. Supported Housing Strategy - Pre-Market Engagement Introduction and background The local authorities in Sussex (Adur District Council, Arun District Council, Brighton & Hove City Council, Chichester District Council, Crawley Borough Council, Eastbourne Borough Council, East Sussex County Council, Hastings Borough Council, Horsham District Council, Lewes District Council, Mid-Sussex District Council, Rother District Council, Wealden District Council, West Sussex County Council and Worthing Borough Council) are working together to prepare for the new Support Housing (Regulatory Oversight) Act 2023. The authorities are exploring the potential commissioning of a consultant to carry out a Pan-Sussex strategic needs assessment, which will inform local Supported Housing Strategies. Under the new regulations local authorities are responsible for producing strategies setting out the current supply of supported housing in their area and plans to address any gaps in provision. The regulations apply to: • older people's supported housing - for example, extra care and retirement or sheltered housing • long-term supported housing - for example, supported living • transitional supported housing - for example, transitional accommodation-based supported housing Local authorities can also include other forms of housing with care and support which help to meet local needs, for example floating support, Housing First and supported lodgings. The strategic needs assessment will help inform the strategy priorities and action plans by providing: • net additional supported housing required over the next 5 years, for the region as a whole and by local housing authority area • net additional supported housing required over the next 10 years - cumulative of the requirements over the next 5 years, for the region as a whole and by local housing authority area • recommendations about the most effective use of supported housing, including opportunities to expand or re-purpose existing provision • recommendations about opportunities for further collaboration, market development and partnership working to enable a sustainable market with adequate supply and capacity The local authorities recognise significant financial and demographic pressures on housing, adult social care and health services. Supported housing strategies will be aligned with the principles of personalised care, independence, inclusion, and affordable, sustainable provision, and should support the delivery of high-quality, cost-effective accommodation that meets the future needs of the population. The consultancy will support the local authorities by: • Providing a consistent understanding of the current provision of supported housing in Sussex • Identifying gaps and over-provision of different types... > [Read full procurement scope and specification on Tenderline](https://tenderline.uk/tenders/escc-et-al-supported-housing-strategy-pre-market-engagement-ocds-h6vhtk-06642c) ## Lots (1) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** planning - **CPV codes:** 73200000, 85000000 - **Delivery regions:** UKJ - **Delivery countries in notice:** GB - **Contract Period:** 31/05/2026 to 30/10/2026 ## Provenance and Official Sources - **Official Notice:** [Find a Tender notice](/out?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.find-tender.service.gov.uk%2FNotice%2F020396-2026) - **Last Source Update:** 2026-03-06T13:26:59.000Z - **This document generated:** 2026-10-28T20:10:18.290Z - **Machine API:** https://tenderline.uk/api/public/tenders/ocds-h6vhtk-06642c
