Assisted Accommodation with Housing Related Support and Tenancy Support Services
Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust
Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust recognises the significant role that suitable accommodation, housing stability and social inclusion play in supporting individuals to live independently, participate within their communities and maintain sustainable tenancies. Access to safe, affordable and appropriate accommodation is a key factor in improving wellbeing, reducing social exclusion and supporting positive life outcomes. Housing instability is frequently associated with increased reliance on statutory services, tenancy breakdown and barriers to independent living. The service is required for eligible adults leaving LPFT inpatient and rehabilitation services who need accommodation-transition and tenancy support. It will be used by Service Users, authorised LPFT referral teams and partner agencies involved in discharge, housing, welfare, health and social care. The required model will maintain the core accommodation-sourcing, discharge and tenancy-sustainment service while strengthening measurable outcomes, tenancy sustainment at 3, 6 and 12 months, Service User experience, accommodation-sourcing timescales, void management, equality analysis and value-for-money assurance. The current service is an established provision. Commissioned capacity is 15 active concurrent Service Users; recent performance information reports average occupancy of 93%, 27 referrals since April 2024, a 74% acceptance rate and positive move-on outcomes for all recorded Service Users. The service supports broader integrated system objectives by improving access to housing options, tenancy sustainment services and coordinated support arrangements across Lincolnshire. It also supports national and local priorities to move support from hospital to community, prevent avoidable delay, improve independence, address housing as a determinant of health and enable people to live well in their communities.

COUNTESS OF CHESTER HOSPITAL NHS FOUNDATION TRUST
The Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust wishes to establish a Framework Agreement under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 (and as amended) (the PSR) for use by all Relevant Authorities (and any future successors to these organisations). "Relevant authority" is defined in section 12ZB(7) of the National Health Service Act 2006. It means a combined authority, an integrated care board, a local authority in England, NHS England, an NHS foundation trust or an NHS trust established under section 25 of that Act. For the avoidance of doubt, any successor bodies of any of the above entities shall be entitled to place Orders and shall be deemed Relevant Authorities for the purposes of this Framework Agreement. Demand for autism and ADHD assessment and diagnosis services has increased significantly in recent years, with waiting lists in some areas now years long. In order to address this backlog, many NHS organisations are outsourcing portions of this service to increase capacity, either on a short- or long-term basis. This Framework Agreement will provide a quick and compliant route to contract for these services. The overall aim of the Framework Agreement is to provide an assessment and diagnosis service for autism, ADHD and/or combined autism and ADHD for both adult and paediatric patients. For patients on the ADHD or combined pathway this may also include medication prescribing, titration and review. The term of the framework agreement will be 4 years.

Online Harms Digital Youth Work Pilot Programme
Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime
The London Violence Reduction Unit (VRU) is undertaking a virtual market engagement exercise Wednesday 5th August 2026 @ 10am , via MS Teams, to inform the commissioning of the Online Harms Digital Youth Work Pilot Programme. The London Violence Reduction Unit (VRU) is committed to understanding the factors that place children and young people at risk of violence, exploitation and harm, and to working collaboratively with partners to deliver long-term, sustainable solutions. We work across communities and sectors, including youth services, local government, education, health, policing and the voluntary and community sector, championing a public health approach that combines prevention, early intervention and effective support for those experiencing the greatest levels of risk and vulnerability. At the heart of our approach is the belief that violence is preventable, not inevitable. We recognise, however, that many children and young people are already navigating the impacts of trauma, exploitation, abuse and complex community dynamics. As such, our work seeks not only to prevent harm before it occurs, but also to strengthen the systems, services and trusted adults responsible for safeguarding, supporting and intervening with those most affected. Central to this approach is a commitment to partnership working, evidence-informed practice and ensuring that the voices, experiences and expertise of young people and communities shape the solutions designed to support them. The Mayor's Violence Reduction Unit (VRU) is seeking to engage with the market in advance of a forthcoming procurement opportunity relating to the delivery of its flagship Digital Youth Work Pilot Programme. The programme forms part of the VRU's wider public health approach to violence reduction and sits within a London-wide model developed following extensive consultation with young people, practitioners, safeguarding professionals, academics and sector experts.
