Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by The Borough Council of Calderdale concerns the 16+ Supported Accommodation Service, which is divided into two lots. These involve providing accommodation and support for Children Looked After and Young People Leaving Care, as well as services for Unaccompanied Asylum Seeker Children. The procurement is categorized under the "Social work and related services" industry and is to be executed in the region of UKE44 in the United Kingdom. Although issues have led to the cancellation of some tender aspects as of 6th October 2025, the underlying contracts were anticipated to commence on 10th December 2025 for an initial period of five years, with an option to extend. The open procedure procurement method offers opportunities for various providers, without a guaranteed work basis, to tender during the contract's life span.

This lucrative tender, with a gross amount of £37,759,293, represents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in social work services. Small and medium enterprises, as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprise organisations, are particularly well-suited to bid due to the procurement’s emphasis on providing high-quality services for vulnerable young people transitioning to independence. The business growth opportunities lie in establishing enduring partnerships with the council, secured by the potential for contract extensions, thereby allowing participating firms to enhance their reputations and experience in public sector service provisions.

Notice Title

16+ Supported Accommodation Service (2 Lots)

Notice Description

The Borough Council of Calderdale (the "Council") is commissioning a 16+ Supported Accommodation Service (the "Service) for Children Looked After (CLA) and Young People Leaving Care aged 16 and 17 years old on admission (2 Lots). The Service will provide high quality support to enable Young People to be as prepared as possible for adulthood, living independently, for financial responsibility, and to enable them to secure education, training, or employment opportunities. Supported accommodation provides accommodation with support for 16- and 17-year-old Children Looked After and Young People Leaving Care, to enable them to live semi-independently. The provision of accommodation is regulated under the Supported Accommodation (England) Regulations 2023. The Service will be delivered in two Lots; Lot 1: 16+ Supported Accommodation - Children Looked After and Young People Leaving Care and, Lot 2: 16+ Supported Accommodation Service - Unaccompanied Asylum Seeker Children. It is anticipated that the 16+ Supported Accommodation Service contracts will commence on the 10th December 2025 for a period of five years with the option to extend for a further two periods of up to 24 months. Preliminary market engagement was carried out prior to the implementation of the Procurement Act 2023. This Tender process is for the procurement of Multi-award Contracts on a no guarantee of work basis, to an unlimited number of providers through one tender process for the duration of the contract. In addition to the Tender, the Council may make use of User Choice Direct Award contracts where appropriate under the Procurement legislation to ensure Children and Young People are allocated a service in a timely manner to ensure their needs are met. I.e. This is likely to be where there are capacity issues amongst the successful providers awarded a contract under the Tender and there is urgent need for a placement to be made.
