The contract is set to start on 1st April 2024 and end on 31st March 2027. This tender by the Cambridgeshire County Council offers opportunities for businesses to provide essential support services to young people transitioning to adulthood. Businesses in the health and social work services sector would find this tender suitable for their expertise. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprise (VCSE) organisations are encouraged to participate in this procurement process. The tender aligns with new sector regulations proposed by the Department for Education and Ofsted, highlighting a commitment to improving services for young vulnerable individuals. ## Notice Supported accommodation is a key service that plays a pivotal role in the care system for young people. It provides accommodation and support services to young people in Care aged sixteen and seventeen years old, and accommodation and support for Unaccompanied Asylum-Seeking young people aged 18+ who are awaiting a Home Office decision regarding their status. The service is required to provide support according to the needs of the young people which is flexible and mutually agreed, working in partnership with other agencies. This will enable young people to become more independent whilst living in the service, through developing the knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviours required to sustain independent living and make a smooth and successful transition to adulthood. The service is required to build resilience and strength in young people's skills to live in the community whilst ensuring young people are fully involved in the planning and delivery of their care plans moving forward. The Department for Education and Ofsted are implementing the new regulations of this sector. The introduction of these regulations will commence in October 2023, with inspections commencing April 2024. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fe1db6b4-dcc6-44c6-b704-d1d38f2f0c14 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Other - | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 22 Jan 2024 | | Submission deadline | 12 Feb 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2024 - 31 Mar 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £50,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CAMBRIDGESHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | HUNTINGDON | | Post town | Peterborough | | Postcode | PE28 4YE | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH4 Cambridgeshire and Peterborough | | ITL 3 | TLH42 Cambridgeshire CC | | Local authority | Huntingdonshire | | Electoral ward | The Stukeleys | | Westminster constituency | Huntingdon | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services - 98000000 - Other community, social and personal services ## Release History - 22 Jan 2024 at 16:07 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fe1db6b4-dcc6-44c6-b704-d1d38f2f0c14 - 30 Oct 2023 at 17:04 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8babaaaa-0aa0-436e-bf23-ca1b2e5f6b32 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fe1db6b4-dcc6-44c6-b704-d1d38f2f0c14 22nd January 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8babaaaa-0aa0-436e-bf23-ca1b2e5f6b32 30th October 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Opportunities/Index?p=ea3edb62-3a92-eb11-810c-005056b64545&v=2 Apply online ## Notice URLs - https://www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
