Light Touch Framework for Supported Accommodation and Semi-independent Living for Young People
Notice Description
London Borough of Ealing is working with the West London Alliance members and other local authorities in establishing a light touch Framework, for a duration of 8 years (4+2+2), to procure and commission Supported accommodation and semi independent living services for Young people. The light touch framework will be for an unlimited number of providers in two lots: Lot 1 for the provision of supported accommodation (for young people aged 16-17 year) by Ofsted registered providers and Lot 2 semi-independent accommodation (for Young people aged 18+) from providers that are not Ofsted registered and the provision of floating support. Providers can apply for both lots. This is a Flexible light touch framework as outlined by Section 45 of the Procurement Act and which shall be re-opened at least twice annually. The West London Alliance and Ealing Council reserves the right to change the frequency of the openings and also open specific lots and regions based on their sufficiency requirements. The Framework has geographical regions, to ensure sufficiency of provision in the areas the London local authorities who require placements. The majority of the placements will be made in line within the London local authorities' agenda of placing close to home, however there will be instances when young people may need to be placed at distance. Region 1- This will include service locations within the 32 London councils and also the councils of Surrey and Buckinghamshire. As majority of the councils accessing this provision are in London and neighbouring regions, majority of the placements are expected to be made in this region. Region 2 - This will include services located in the rest of the county. Local authorities will in some instances require to place young people at distance in which case they will filter for Provider with services in regions further away. The London Borough of Ealing and the West London Alliance are working with local authority partners in Barnet, Harrow, Brent, Hounslow, Hillingdon, Hammersmith and Fulham reserve the right to open, amend and create additional regions in the future based on the needs of Local Authorities. The estimated value of the services to be purchased for the entire duration of the Framework is purely indicative and cannot be guaranteed. Please see tender documents for more information.

Planning Information
The Commissioning Alliance’s current purchasing vehicle (DPS) which is accessed by several Local Authorities to procure supported accommodation placements is coming to an end in 2026 and we will be commencing engagement events (online) with providers of both Ofsted regulated supported accommodation provision and Providers of semi-independent living services. This engagement will help to inform the market on our initial thoughts on the new lotting structure (London, surrounding region, South, and UK based), the new commissioning arrangements, seek provider feedback on key terms and conditions and what key elements we need to consider going forward to help inform the design and development of the new Open Framework. We aim to have separate events for providers that deliver an Ofsted regulated provision and another one for those that support 18+ young people and are not regulated. If you wish to attend these pre-market engagement events please register so online links can be sent to you, using the link here: https://forms.office.com/e/YtiY0xFw9p Dates will be confirmed mid May 2025 once providers have registered.
