## Summary

The procurement process, initiated by Reading Borough Council, pertains to the "Consultation - Draft ITT for Provision of 16+ accommodation and support" project. This initiative falls under the social work services industry category and is being undertaken in Reading, England. The process is currently in the planning stage, with an engagement end date set for 1st April 2019. Interested parties are encouraged to provide feedback on the tender documentation by this deadline, specifically addressing aspects outside of the areas identified for improvement during the programme's lifetime.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses in the social care sector, particularly those offering accommodation and support services for young people. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be particularly well-suited to participate, given their ability to provide tailored services that address the needs of children and young people. Engaging with this consultation will allow potential bidders to influence the development of the tender and position themselves effectively for future service delivery opportunities.

## Notice

Brighter Futures for Children (BFfC) are a new organisation with a remit to improve services for children, young people and families in Reading. As part of our improvement programme we will soon be publishing an Invitation to Tender for the provision of 16+ accommodation and support services. This will include lots for group living, supported tenancies and supported lodgings. In January we held a consultation with providers and now we wish to invite any interested organisation to give feedback on our tender documentation, before it is published for competition. Please note that the preparation for independence programme (Get Going with Employment and Get Going with Independence) are understood to be in need of further improvement but that this will happen during the lifetime of the framework. Consequently please focus any feedback on other documents included in the tender. Please send any feedback you wish to offer to james.purdie@brighterfuturesforchildren.org Feedback should be returned by 1200 on Monday 1st April.
