Description
Solihull Council has reviewed the services it provides to homeless young people 16-24 and is using the findings from this review to design a new service to be implemented from April 2026. As a result, the Council may need to procure specialist services in the following areas:
Lot 1: Solihull Youth Hub (SYH) will deliver housing related advice and housing options support and homelessness prevention/relief services to young people aged 16-24. SYH will provide the single point of access for all young people without dependents who are homeless or at risk of homelessness in Solihull. The total value of Lot 1 is estimated to be £1.7m based on a 5-year contract.
Lot 2: Solihull Youth Accommodation Pathway. The total value of Lot 2 is estimated to be £2.7m based on a 5-year contract.
There are distinct links between lots 1 and 2 and the providers of both lots will be expected to work closely together to ensure a seamless transition from the youth hub to the youth pathway to ensure that young people receive the most appropriate support.
