    Brief

    Essex County Council is seeking providers to deliver supported accommodation for individuals with mental health needs who require assistance under the Mental Health Act. This service supports people in transitioning from hospital care to independent living in the community. Key objectives include: enabling step-down from hospital settings, preventing unnecessary hospital admissions, improving health and social care outcomes, providing comprehensive support, and reducing out-of-area placements. The service operates on a move-on model, helping individuals progress to mainstream housing while maintaining access to commissioned community support services. The Council is conducting market engagement to inform commissioning decisions. The final scope of this procurement, including contract duration and timetable, will be confirmed in a subsequent Tender Notice following internal governance approval. Prospective providers are invited to participate in this initial engagement exercise.
