## Summary

Warwickshire County Council is seeking a provider to establish the "Bright Residential for Children (BR4C)" service, which aims to offer 14 units of accommodation and support for children and young people in non-institutional settings across Warwickshire, with potential needs in Solihull and Coventry. The tender process is currently in the award stage, with the contract set to commence on 1 April 2018 and continue until 31 March 2025. The total value of the contract is £21 million, and this procurement follows a selective competitive dialogue method. The tender period closed on 9 May 2017.

This opportunity is ideal for businesses specialising in social care and accommodation services, particularly those experienced in supporting looked-after children and providing transitional services to help these individuals live independently. Companies that can deliver care in a sensitive and non-institutional environment will find this particularly beneficial. Participation in such contracts can help grow businesses focused on welfare services in the West Midlands, contributing to community development and establishing strong partnerships with local councils.

## Notice

Warwickshire County Council wished to commission a provider to provide initially 14 units (beds) of accommodation and support for children and young people in smaller non-institutional domestic settings, located within the county of Warwickshire at locations to be agreed with the Commissioner. Solihull MBC may require the provision of 4 units (in Solihull) and Coventry CC may require the provision of 2units (in Coventry). This service is primarily for Children who are Looked After (CLA) and will support them to return to a family setting or for older young people, give them the tools so that by the age of 18 they can live independently. Additional units may be commissioned during the contract period subject to demand and the needs of the Councils. In addition to these requirements the Commissioners will work with the Provider to see how the Provider may be able to support the Commissioners with placements in emergency/ crisis situations.
