Islington Council is seeking to engage with providers capable of delivering a bespoke accommodation and support service to meet the needs of a resident with a learning disability, autism, and complex behaviour and support needs. The resident currently lives outside of Islington, without direct public transport options to facilitate family visits. The council is looking at options for the resident to move closer to Islington. The provider will need to have access to a suitable property where the resident could live and be supported. Property requirements The accommodation must be suitable for the resident’s particular needs (including health needs) and be compliant with health and safety requirements related to accommodation. Ideally, two/three-bedroom ground floor accommodation with a secure private garden large enough to accommodate a trampoline. Preferably, the property will be in a low noise/low congestion area close to open space. Community activities and amenities (e.g. shops and eating facilities) should be easily accessible. The property will need to be sound-proofed and adapted with specific safety features. Notably, significant areas of the property will need to be padded from floor to ceiling. The property will also need to be designed to meet the sensory requirements of the resident. Some adaptations may be able to be funded via the Disabled Facilities Grant, although this is unlikely to cover all requirements. It is expected that the resident will have their own tenancy. Rent and service charge costs will need to be covered by housing benefit. The accommodation itself must meet the following minimum requirements: • Sufficient rooms to accommodate the resident and the minimum of three (3) staff at all times • Two bathrooms • Secure locks, alarms and restrictors for windows and doors • Office space • Garden • Parking The property would ideally be in Islington or one of the neighbouring boroughs. However, property with good transport links to Islington may also be considered. For the purpose of this engagement, “good” means direct/frequent and affordable transport links to facilitate regular visits by family members and wider circle of support. Care and support needs 24-hour care and support is required to meet the person’s needs both at home and in the community. This is currently provided in a minimum ratio of 3:1 staff when in the home, and 4:1 outside of the home. The provider will work with the person, their family and their circle of support to improve the resident’s quality of life and help them to meet their personalised goals. Support should be provided in the most imaginative and least restrictive way, ... > [Read full procurement scope and specification on Tenderline](https://tenderline.uk/tenders/market-engagement-bespoke-supported-living-service-ocds-h6vhtk-060492) ## Lots (1) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** planning - **CPV codes:** 85000000 - **Delivery regions:** UKI - **Delivery countries in notice:** GB - **Contract Period:** 01/03/2027 to 28/02/2030 ## Provenance and Official Sources - **Official Notice:** [Find a Tender notice](/out?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.find-tender.service.gov.uk%2FNotice%2F002624-2026) - **Last Source Update:** 2026-01-13T12:26:20.000Z - **This document generated:** 2026-10-26T17:32:07.314Z - **Machine API:** https://tenderline.uk/api/public/tenders/ocds-h6vhtk-060492
