Notice Description
The Council of the Borough of Kirklees (the "Council") is conducting this procurement exercise, in accordance with the Light Touch Regime of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (SI 2015/102), and intends to establish an Electronic Market Place ("EMP") with Providers with relevant experience and ability for the provision of Supported Accommodation to looked after or care leavers aged 16+. The Council established a 16+ Supported Accommodation Electronic Market Place (EMP) to meet its duties under the Childrens Act 1989 & 2004 when securing a Supported Accommodation placement for either; * a looked after child is placed in an 'other arrangements' placement or * a care leaver is placed in 'suitable accommodation' The Council requires four types of provision, which are aligned with Ofsted's four categories of supported accommodation, as set out below: * Category 1 - Supported Accommodation in a self-contained unit The accommodation is for the sole use of the child or for the child and other individuals living with the child (For example; partner, sibling or children) as agreed by the Council. * Category 2 - Supported accommodation in a shared or group living situation (Ring fenced for looked after children and care leavers only) The accommodation is for looked after children and care leavers only. There may be care leavers over the age of 18 living at the accommodation. Each child will have their own bedroom but will share communal areas (For example: kitchen, or a living area.) * Category 3 - Supported accommodation in a shared or group living situation (Not limited to looked after children and care leavers) The supported accommodation in a shared or group living situation in premises which are not limited to accommodating looked after children and care leavers. Each child will have their own bedroom but will share communal areas (For example: kitchen, or a living area.) * Category 4 - Supported accommodation provided by an individual or individuals in a private residence (which is the main residence of that individual or individuals) Children are accommodated in a private residence.

This EMP is anticipated to run from 01 April 2024 to 31 March 2034. Call off for the provision of Supported Accommodation Services 16+ for the council o f the borough of Kirklees.
