Summary of the contracting process

Cumberland Council has concluded a procurement process for a framework concerning the provision of suitable housing for separated young adults over 18 years. These are asylum seekers arriving in the UK without a guardian. The framework aims to not only provide accommodation but also support these young adults in navigating their asylum processes and eventually settling into permanent homes. The framework is set to commence on 1st March 2026 and will run until 28th February 2029, with a potential one-year extension at the council's discretion. The procurement follows an open procedure under the 'light touch' regime, divided into three Lots: Flexible Block, Fixed Block, and Direct Award, allowing flexibility in service delivery and accommodation guarantee. The industry category falls under social work services with accommodation, to be delivered within Cumbria, UK.

This framework presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in housing and social services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise organisations (VCSEs). With an overall budget of £1,076,400 excluding VAT, and potential extensions, the contract opens avenues for suppliers capable of providing flexible and tailored support services for these vulnerable young adults. Suitable businesses would include those with experience in social care, housing management, and supporting individuals through legal and administrative processes, ensuring the comprehensive needs of these young adults are met effectively. Suppliers such as EVERYONE MATTERS HOMES CIC, FORTIX LTD, and others have been selected, demonstrating the scope for collaboration and engagement within the sector.

Notice Title

Framework for The Provision of Suitable Housing for Separated Young Adults 18+

Notice Description

Cumberland Council has procured a (closed) framework for providers with the capacity, required skills and experience to deliver a service for the Provision of Suitable Housing for Separated Young Adults 18+. Separated young people are aged less than 18 years arriving in the UK unaccompanied by a parent or guardian, and who claim asylum. On entry to the UK, these young people become cared for by Cumberland Council. When a separated young person reaches the age of 18, (become a young adult), under Sections 23C-E and 24 of the Children Act, as amended by the Children Leaving Care Act 2000, Local Authorities continue to have duties and powers in respect of separated young adults. Before receiving right to remain, the young adults have no recourse to public funds and therefore cannot enter into tenancy agreements for a home. This service seeks to provide suitable accommodation for these young adults. In addition to accommodation an element of low level support will also be required to negotiate the right to remain process, and once acquired, to support the young adults to find permanent homes and access all benefit entitlements. This procurement process has now concluded, and we will be appointing the successful tenderers onto the (closed) framework to deliver this service across Cumbria. The council proposes to enter into the framework from the 1st March 2026 with the successful tenderers. The initial framework period is from 1st March 2026 - 28th February 2029. The framework end date of 28th February 2030 is the date the framework will end if the potential 12 months extension is used. Use of this extension is at the absolute discretion of the council. Any extension will be confirmed with the successful suppliers if implemented. The highest estimated value is PS1,076,400 excluding VAT. This is for the initial term and the potential 12 months extension period. The Framework is divided into three Lots: * Lot 1: Flexible Block The Authority guarantees a minimum number of beds with the ability to add/reduce that level (where there is a change in demand) upon notice. * Lot 2: Fixed Block A block contract for a specified number of beds for the life of the contract. * Lot 3: Direct Award Bids were evaluated according to the criteria as set out in the Invitation to Tender From the date of this notice and in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023, the council will be observing a standstill period of 8 working days before entering into any contract.

        "title": "Framework for The Provision of Suitable Housing for Separated Young Adults 18+",
        "description": "Cumberland Council has procured a (closed) framework for providers with the capacity, required skills and experience to deliver a service for the Provision of Suitable Housing for Separated Young Adults 18+. Separated young people are aged less than 18 years arriving in the UK unaccompanied by a parent or guardian, and who claim asylum. On entry to the UK, these young people become cared for by Cumberland Council. When a separated young person reaches the age of 18, (become a young adult), under Sections 23C-E and 24 of the Children Act, as amended by the Children Leaving Care Act 2000, Local Authorities continue to have duties and powers in respect of separated young adults. Before receiving right to remain, the young adults have no recourse to public funds and therefore cannot enter into tenancy agreements for a home. This service seeks to provide suitable accommodation for these young adults. In addition to accommodation an element of low level support will also be required to negotiate the right to remain process, and once acquired, to support the young adults to find permanent homes and access all benefit entitlements. This procurement process has now concluded, and we will be appointing the successful tenderers onto the (closed) framework to deliver this service across Cumbria. The council proposes to enter into the framework from the 1st March 2026 with the successful tenderers. The initial framework period is from 1st March 2026 - 28th February 2029. The framework end date of 28th February 2030 is the date the framework will end if the potential 12 months extension is used. Use of this extension is at the absolute discretion of the council. Any extension will be confirmed with the successful suppliers if implemented. The highest estimated value is PS1,076,400 excluding VAT. This is for the initial term and the potential 12 months extension period. The Framework is divided into three Lots: * Lot 1: Flexible Block The Authority guarantees a minimum number of beds with the ability to add/reduce that level (where there is a change in demand) upon notice. * Lot 2: Fixed Block A block contract for a specified number of beds for the life of the contract. * Lot 3: Direct Award Bids were evaluated according to the criteria as set out in the Invitation to Tender From the date of this notice and in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023, the council will be observing a standstill period of 8 working days before entering into any contract.",
