Summary of the contracting process

The Peterborough City Council has recently completed a procurement process for the "Supported Accommodation Pseudo-Dynamic Purchasing System" within the welfare services for children and young people industry category. The process involved establishing a PDPS split into three lots, each catering to different groups such as young people in care and separated migrant children. The procurement method used was a selective procedure, with the tender now being in a cancelled status. The procurement process was managed by the Peterborough City Council and was located in Peterborough with key dates and deadlines specific to each lot.

This tender opportunity for the Supported Accommodation PDPS presents potential business growth opportunities for service providers in the social work and welfare services sector. Businesses with experience in providing supported accommodation for young people, especially those meeting specific regulatory requirements such as Ofsted Registration, would be well-suited to compete for the different lots within this procurement. Despite the current status of the tender as cancelled, businesses looking to expand their services in the specified industry category should monitor future opportunities from the Peterborough City Council, which had led this procurement process.

Supported Accommodation and Support for Separated Migrant Children and /or Formally Separated Migrant Children with No Recourse to Public Funds

Lot 2 is for Supported Accommodation and Support for Separated Migrant Children and /or Formally Separated Migrant Children with No Recourse to Public Funds. In addition to the outcomes stated for Lot 1, Lot 2 will require the following unique service elements: 1 screening interview, plus travel time 2-3 solicitors' appointments (these currently take approximately 1.5-2 days with solicitors based in Luton, Northampton and Peterborough). Attendance at initial health appointments, as required. Support the young person to set up a credit union account. Attending interviews (as requested by the Social Worker). There may be instances where Providers are not required to support the young person to attend interviews as the Social Worker can attend, but the Provider must have staffing capacity to attend planned interviews with the Young Person. Age Assessments - An initial age assessment will be completed to inform the decision of whether or not to accommodate the Young Person, and this will have been completed under the national transfer scheme. A Merton Age Assessment will likely not have been completed at the time the young person is referred to the provider. It is the Local Authority's responsibility to organise the Merton Age Assessment. Providers should escort the young person to the Merton Assessment venue, ensure that they have eaten beforehand and that they attend with a drink or snack. The provider will need to support the young person to engage with the local community to enable them to build relationships and friendships and to feel part of the community. Issues identified by the Provider, including staff perceiving issues with young people not wanting to integrate and potential segregation issues, and any health issues will be discussed with the social worker and are to be highlighted in support plans. The primary aim is to ensure each young person is enabled to feel safe and able to adapt to their new home, feel happy and settled, and are also supported to integrate.

Additional information: Providers did not need to submit specific quality or price submissions in order to be awarded a place on this Lot.
