The MHJ units will average 50, 1 bed self-contained units and 10 units of shared accommodation, albeit there may be a need to flex this mix dependent on service demands. The children’s services 16 units, will consist of 1 bed self-contained. Up to 10 of these units will be allocated to the House Project. All of the units will be on a ‘pay for what is used’ arrangement, other than the up to 6 the remaining Childrens units, which will be block purchased. These 6 units will also need to be fully dispersed across the borough, with any preferred locations agreed at contract mobilisation stage.Whilst the Children’s 16 units have been split across a number of channels it is envisaged the IHM function will remain the same and units will be used more fluidly to maximise opportunities and achieve outcomes for young people.
