Summary of the contracting process

Hertfordshire County Council has undertaken an open procurement process (ID: HCC2416048) for the provision of emergency residential placements for one child or young person aged 7 to 18 with highly challenging behaviour and complex needs. The procurement falls under the services category, specifically residential health facilities services, with additional classifications including welfare services for children and young people, and social work services with accommodation. The location of service delivery is Hertfordshire (UKH23). The procurement stage is at the Award stage, with the contract being signed on 10th December 2024. The initial contract period is for two years, starting from the service commencement date, with the possibility to extend for up to three additional years, making the maximum contract duration five years. The awarded contract’s total value is £3,650,000.

This tender represents significant business growth opportunities for service providers specialised in emergency residential care, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with experience in handling complex behavioural cases. Organisations with capacity to offer bespoke, high-quality care and support on an emergency short-term basis are well-suited to compete for this contract. This opportunity also requires providers to manage and operate a residential home with stringent care protocols and staffing requirements, involving a minimum of two staff during the day and overnight supervision. Moreover, businesses that can establish a strong working relationship with the Council’s Out of Hours Service and Rapid Response Team, and offer flexible, crisis-response capabilities, will find this contract particularly aligned with their operational strengths and expertise.
