## Description
Slough Borough Council is seeking to commission suitably experienced provider(s) for a mental health supported accommodation service across two lots for adults with severe and enduring mental illness.
The service will cover:
Lot 1 - High-Support Step-Down Mental Health Supported Accommodation (accommodation-based, 24/7 staffing, waking night cover) for people stepping down from hospital or similar intensive settings (up to 10 beds)
Lot 2a - Medium-High Support Mental Health Supported Accommodation for people who no longer require high support but still need a structured, staffed environment (up to 10 beds).
Lot 2b - Low Support Step-Down Accommodation with Floating Support for people preparing to move on to fully independent living, with time-limited, tapered outreach support (up to 6 beds).
The services will be required to operate across three or more buildings in Slough, providing self-contained accommodation with integrated housing-related support, recovery-focused key-working and strong links with Community Mental Health Services, primary care and wider community resources.
The pathway is designed to:
enable timely, safe discharge from hospital and prevent avoidable admission
promote recovery, wellbeing and independence
reduce out-of-area placements and long-term institutional care
improve tenancy sustainment and prevent homelessness
reduce use of crisis and inpatient services
The main role of the Lots, taken together, is to provide a step-down and progression pathway from higher levels of support into ordinary housing, with time-limited resettlement support after move-on.  
The contract will commence on 1 July 2026 for a one year period with an option to extend for a further 12 months.
