Summary of the contracting process

Birmingham Children’s Trust Community Interest Company intends to procure supported accommodation services for separated migrant children and young people. The service will provide sufficient, safe, regulated and good-quality accommodation for separated migrant children aged 16–17 and for those aged 18 and over, with linked transition options for people moving into adulthood. The intended service should reduce avoidable moves, support independence and enable urgent same-day or next-day referrals when required. This is a children’s and young people’s welfare service, classified under CPV 85311300. Delivery is planned in Birmingham. The procurement is a service contract for accommodation providers and organisations able to combine safe housing with regulated support, transition planning and responsive referral handling.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the buyer has stated an intention to procure and has not yet issued an invitation to tender. It expects to use a competitive flexible procedure under the light-touch regime, with a framework agreement. The procurement is above the relevant threshold and is planned as one lot. The buyer expects the next notice to be published on 1 October 2026. The planned contract period is 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2030, with a renewal option allowing the maximum period to extend to 30 November 2032. The information sets out a planned procurement rather than a current bid deadline. No estimated contract value or award criteria are stated.

The work is likely to suit accommodation providers, supported housing operators, children’s social care organisations and voluntary, community or social enterprises with suitable regulated premises and the ability to support separated migrant children. Relevant strengths include safeguarding, risk management, accommodation standards, independence-building and transition support for young people aged 16–17 and 18 and over. Suppliers should be prepared to maintain safe, good-quality capacity and respond to urgent same-day or next-day referrals. Organisations with established referral pathways, staffing and operational resilience are likely to be well placed. The buyer has indicated that small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises are suitable for participation, so smaller specialist providers may wish to prepare for the market approach.
