Summary of the contracting process

Torbay Council has completed the procurement process for the 16 Plus Supported Accommodation contract aimed at providing housing services for young people aged 16-24 in Torbay. This project is divided into several lots, each focusing on different accommodation needs such as Supported Lodgings, Semi-Independent Accommodation, and Multi-Occupancy Frameworks. The project supports the council's obligations towards children cared for and their sufficiency duties. The industry category primarily involves social work services with emphasis on accommodation and aims at enhancing the care experience for the youths involved. The procurement followed an open procedure, allowing multiple suppliers to participate, with key completion dates falling in 2026 after initial planning in mid-2025.

This procurement initiative offers significant business growth opportunities for those within the caregiving and housing sectors, especially for SMEs that specialise in social services. Companies specialising in providing accommodation and support for vulnerable youth can benefit from contracts that span several years, with provisions for extension, ensuring long-term work. SMEs adept in delivering accommodation services with a focus on social value would be well-suited to this framework, given the complexity and varied needs of the young people served, providing an avenue for meaningful contribution while facilitating business expansion within the public service domain.
