Housing Support

Housing Support

Housing support services are often procured within broader community services frameworks, which means providers tendering for housing support contracts are competing against a wide range of organisations — housing associations, voluntary sector providers, and specialist support agencies — each with different evidence bases and commissioning relationships. Standing out in housing support procurement requires a clear articulation of your tenancy sustainment model and your prevention-focused approach.

Evaluation criteria for housing support commissioning focus on your tenancy sustainment outcome data, your approach to early intervention and crisis prevention, your multi-agency working with housing officers, social workers, mental health services, and community organisations, your financial inclusion capability, and your approach to supporting people with complex and multiple needs including substance misuse, mental health, and offending backgrounds.

TenderLab approaches housing support tendering by building responses around your outcome evidence and your multi-agency working model. We identify your tenancy sustainment data, your prevention approach, and your complex needs capability, and structure your submission to demonstrate the operational depth and community integration that housing support commissioners score most highly.
