Summary of the contracting process

Derbyshire County Council has concluded an open procurement process for the provision of Children's Accommodation Support Service (CASS), aimed at providing supported housing for young people aged 16 and over in care or transitioning out of care. The contract, awarded on 1st October 2025, requires the delivery of 160 accommodation units across Derbyshire. The agreement's legal framework is underpinned by the UK Public Contracts Regulations, 2023/54. The procurement falls under the 'services' category with a 'light touch' regime and holds a value of £52 million, potentially extending to a maximum of nine years. The successful bid was led by Framework Housing Association, a VCSE and large-scale organisation known for offering support in the social work sector. The primary service delivery is scheduled from October 2025 to September 2030, with potential for two additional two-year extensions based on performance reviews.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for organisations specialising in social care and accommodation services. Business entities may benefit from engaging in sub-contracting opportunities or considering future tenders in similar service domains. The framework allows potential flexibility in contract adjustments, such as scaling the number of accommodation units, making it attractive for businesses adaptable to changing needs. SMEs and organisations with experience in social value delivery or those aligned with strategic care transitions for young people, especially those capable of providing quality services on a large scale, are well-suited to engage with this opportunity. The contract’s emphasis on quality service, price efficiency, and social value reinforces the importance of delivering comprehensive care solutions within budget and strategic objectives.
