Summary of the contracting process

Central Bedfordshire Council procured an accommodation placement for a young person aged 16 or over. The placement was made through the council’s 16+ Accommodation Dynamic Purchasing System, under its lot for accommodation with 24-hour staffing. The procurement is categorised as social work services with accommodation. The delivery address is in the SG17 5TQ postcode area.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Hope for 16 plus on 23 September 2026. The awarded value is £36,400. The contract runs from 24 September 2026 to 23 September 2027. The council used a further competition under its 16+ Accommodation Dynamic Purchasing System. The placement was competed through the system’s 24/7 staffing lot.

This award demonstrates demand from Central Bedfordshire Council for accommodation placements for people aged 16 and over that include round-the-clock staffing. Suppliers seeking to compete for this specific requirement when it returns to market would need to provide both suitable accommodation and continuous staffing for the placement. The council’s stated suitability settings do not identify SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises as suitable for this opportunity.
