Summary of the contracting process

The tender process initiated by Bolton Council, titled "TC052 - Social Inclusion Services," is focused on commissioning a Young Person's Accommodation Based Support Service. This service aims to provide emergency and supported accommodation for homeless and vulnerable young people aged 16 to 25 in the UKD3 region, primarily classified under health and social work services. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, and the tender has reached the award stage, with a contract value of £1,443,000. Initially opened for submissions on May 19, 2023, the process proceeded to the award stage, concluding with the signing of the contract on August 21, 2023. The contract initially planned to commence on September 1, 2023, with a duration of three years and options for extension.
