UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council, a sub-central government public authority, is planning a procurement process for "Supported and Supervised Accommodation." This initiative focuses on providing supported accommodation services for children in care and care leavers aged 16-18. The service, categorised under health and social work services, is intended to be delivered in the UKH14 region, United Kingdom. The procurement is currently in the planning stage with a contract period scheduled to start on 1st November 2026 and end on 31st October 2030, with the possibility of renewal extending until 31st October 2033. The tender notice is set to be published by 30th January 2026, with a projected gross value of £58,800,000.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social work services, particularly those targeted towards youth care services. SMEs (Small and Medium-sized Enterprises) and VCSEs (Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises) are particularly encouraged to compete, given the suitability requirements specified in the procurement process. With substantial funding and a long contract period, businesses in this sector can leverage the opportunity to expand their service offerings and establish a substantial presence in the region, while contributing to a vital public service provision for vulnerable young persons.
