## Summary

The London Borough of Sutton is inviting submissions for the "Semi-Independent Accommodation Framework," an initiative aimed at providing placements for looked-after children over the age of 16 and care leavers. The procurement process is currently at the award stage, with a total contract value of £3,500,000, following an open procurement method. The original tender period concluded on 16 August 2017, and the contract is set to run from 20 November 2017 until 19 November 2021. This contract is categorised under health and social work services, and the contracting authority is based in Sutton, London.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in semi-independent accommodation services to enhance their offerings and expand their client base. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in health and social work are particularly well-suited to compete, as Sutton Council is committed to providing high-quality, varied options for young people's needs. Innovative solutions that facilitate independent living and support for care leavers could notably stand out in this competitive procurement process.

## Notice

The London Borough of Sutton Children's Trust Board has set a vision for all: "Children and young people in Sutton to be happy, safe and healthy within resilient families and for them to grow up with the skills, knowledge and attributes they will need to be confident, independent and ready for adult life." As Corporate Parent, Sutton Council needs to ensure children and young people are safe, happy and have the best possible outcomes, as any other parent would look to provide for their child. For some of our young people a semi-independent placement provides the opportunity to develop independent living skills and achieve outcomes, while also receiving the support required. Sutton Council is committed to ensuring that when a Semi-Independent Placement is required, young people have a wide range of options to meet their needs and are only accessing the highest quality services. To meet this commitment, Sutton Council is developing a framework agreement, and is inviting Semi-independent Accommodation providers to join this agreement. This framework will provide placements for looked after children (over the age of 16 years) and care leavers.
