Expressions of Interest Invited - St Helens Supporting People Partnership- Provision of Support Services to Teenage Parents
'
The St Helens Supporting People Partnership wishes to commission an innovative housing-related support service for teenage parents. The new service will enable the provision of support in a range of housing circumstances – from an accommodation based service to floating support provision within the community as well as Social Work assessments relating to parenting. The contract will be for a fixed period until March 2011.

Organisations should be accredited through the Supporting People programme either in St Helens or through another Administering Authority. Organisations should also have the skills, knowledge and experience to deliver a value for money service. Applicants are invited to complete a Pre Qualification Questionnaire by 12 September 2008. Successful organisations will then be invited to proceed through to the tender process.
