Floating Support Service (Generic)

Wirral Council wishes to commission a single organisation, or consortium, to deliver a non-accommodation based (floating support) service that will deliver housing-related support to vulnerable people, aimed at preventing homelessness, and supporting households to manage and maintain independent living. The service, which will need to respond innovatively and creatively in supporting people and by working in close partnership with Service Users, their family and/or carers and other professionals, will aim to help people maintain their independence and encourages people to settle back into the community and promotes self-reliance. The support will be solution focussed aimed at resolving issues and preventing crisis. The service will, at its full occupancy, support 150 Service Users at any one time. Within this, the support hours delivered to each Service User will vary depending on the level of need and demand of the individual Service Users within the service at the given time.
