Summary of the contracting process

Salford City Council is currently in the planning stages of a tender process focused on expanding supported accommodation services for young people aged 16-25 in Salford, with particular emphasis on provisions for 16- and 17-year-olds. The procurement is categorised under several industry classifications, including real estate services, health and social work services, and other community, social, and personal services. This initiative seeks to explore block booking arrangements and evaluate service options across Salford and its surrounding areas. Key milestones include a remote meeting with the council's Commissioning and Procurement teams on 27th November 2025 and a deadline for questionnaire submissions by 3rd December 2025.

This tender presents numerous opportunities for businesses, especially SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that offer services in the relevant industry classifications. Companies providing innovative or bespoke solutions for young adults or specialising in supported accommodation are particularly well-suited to respond. Engagement in this procurement process could facilitate business growth by establishing long-term relationships with a sub-central government body and the potential to extend services across a broader geographical area.
