## Summary

Kirklees Council is overseeing a public procurement process aimed at establishing an Electronic Marketplace (EMP) for 16+ supported accommodation for looked-after children and care leavers, running from 1st April 2024 to 31st March 2034. The tender process, under the Light Touch Regime of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, concluded with the awarding stage on 4th December 2024. The procurement, classified under CPV code 85000000 (Health and social work services), encompasses four accommodation types within the Yorkshire and the Humber region. The contract period extends from 1st July 2024 to 30th June 2026, with a total value of £3,095,252 GBP, and consists of agreements with multiple suppliers, such as Dreamss Ltd, Independent Living Project, and Northern Community Pathways Limited, among others.
