Lot Division

2 Tenancy Sustainment

Currently the Council leases 60 temporary furnished flats. The Council works in partnership with Glasgow Housing Association (GHA) and City Property to lease the premises to our service providers. The leasing of these premises will be transferred over to the successful bidder. Whilst the clear focus of the tenancy sustainment services will be on the provision of support, providers require to be aware of the potential for service users to present high risk behaviour. It will be necessary for the Provider to link into monitoring processes, including where appropriate MAPPA. The Provider should appropriately manage high risk behaviours should they occur and immediately alert supervising officers should any factors or behaviours affecting risk emerge. The Provider will ensure staff are trained and supported to provide high quality flexible support outreach support, to service users involved with the justice system or who may be subject to compulsion and restriction orders (CORO), who may present with a range of issues and complex support needs which may include mental and physical health problems, learning disability, addictions, financial exclusion, social isolation, fleeing violence etc.

4 Specialist Services

Specialist services relate to the support required for high-risk offenders subject to statutory supervision orders with additional support needs and management of particularly high-risk offenders such as those subject to MAPPA (Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements) upon release from prison. Service needs can include intensive supervision in the community, sometimes including provision of accommodation and other support from (e.g.) Home Care, Mental Health, Learning Disability, specialist forensic services etc. This would be arranged as and when required based on individual needs.

5 Purchased Justice Services in communities

On occasion funding may become available for community-based initiatives that enables the Council to meet Statutory Requirements, or further the aims of the Council in delivering Justice Services that help to reduce re-offending or promote pro-social behaviour. There is no contract value in this Lot. Mini-competition process will be implemented.
