Summary of the contracting process

Derby City Council commissioned supported accommodation for young people in care aged 16 and 17, care leavers up to 21, young homeless people, children in need and eligible unaccompanied asylum-seeking children. The service combines accommodation with direct support, including 10 hours of one-to-one support per young person each week for the relevant cohort. It is a health and social work service (CPV 85000000), delivered in Derby and the surrounding area served by the council. Providers are expected to contribute actively to local economic and social regeneration, with contract performance conditions covering social and environmental considerations. The requirement is therefore suited to organisations able to provide or manage supported housing alongside structured support for vulnerable young people.

The procurement is complete and has resulted in active contracts. It used an open procedure, with bids due by 18 October 2022 and evaluation based 60% on quality and 40% on price. Four awards for the main accommodation lot were made to ANEW Young People Services Ltd, Cornerstones Group Ltd, Derventio Housing Trust Ltd and The Riverside Group Ltd, each with a contract value of £1,040,000. A further award for the second lot went to Derventio Housing Trust for £520,000. Later active awards for the children-in-care requirement were made to Cornerstones Group Ltd for £1,175,000 and to The Riverside Group Ltd for £1,175,000. Contracts were signed on 6 December 2022. The original term ran from 6 February 2023 to 5 February 2025, with extensions available; the contracts were extended to 5 February 2028, with a small value increase.

This requirement demonstrates sustained council demand for providers that can secure suitable supported accommodation and deliver consistent, person-centred support to vulnerable 16- to 21-year-olds. Credible competitors would need housing assets or reliable access to accommodation in and around Derby, operational capacity to provide 10 hours of weekly one-to-one support per resident where required, and experience supporting care leavers, young homeless people, children in need and eligible unaccompanied asylum-seeking children. For the relevant accommodation model, a provider must be an approved registered social housing provider with Derby City Council or have successfully claimed Housing Benefit from the council for 16- or 17-year-olds in supported accommodation. Strong safeguarding, support planning and partnership working would also be important, alongside the ability to deliver measurable social and environmental value locally.
