The procurement is classified under health and social work services and is valued at £70 million. The tender period ends on August 23, 2023, with the contract scheduled to run from November 2023 to 2033. The framework will offer opportunities across various locations in England and aims to enhance housing support for vulnerable young people aged 16-25. This tender presents opportunities for businesses that specialise in providing accommodation and support services for young people. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are well-suited to compete. Interested parties can access the tender details on the Oxfordshire County Council's website, and the framework allows for ongoing bidding opportunities throughout its duration. Businesses looking to expand their presence in the health and social work services sector should consider participating in this open procurement process. ## Notice Oxfordshire County Council is seeking tenders from suitably qualified providers that have a proven track record in providing quality Accommodation and Support to vulnerable young people aged between 16-25 years, old including young people who are under the care of the Council. Providers must meet the criteria to claim enhanced housing benefit and for those who are able to support 16 to 18 years of age, appropriately registered. Services have been characterised into three Lots: 1. Shared Supported Housing Accommodation 2. Self-Contained Supported Housing Accommodation 3. Supported Lodgings The Framework is aimed primarily at developing capacity in Oxfordshire. In addition, tenders will be accepted for the following locations, Northamptonshire, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, Wiltshire, Gloucestershire, Worcestershire, Warwickshire, Hampshire, Surrey, London, Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire. This will be an Open Framework with rolling application windows throughout the lifetime of the agreement. Once accepted on the framework providers will have opportunities to bid for individual placements and or blocks via mini competitions. The Framework will initially supplement established Young People Supported Accommodation contracts and is envisioned to be the vehicle to replace these contracts as they are recommissioned in the future. The Framework will commence from November 2023 and run up to 2032. The Council does not guarantee the volume of spend that will be awarded under this Framework but based on projections we expect approximately PS70 million to be spent across the life of the Framework. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4dcb527f-675b-4033-b93e-206da81f4c37 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 24 Jul 2023 | | Submission deadline | 23 Aug 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Nov 2023 - 1 Nov 2033 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £70,000,000 | | 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 | OXFORDSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | OXFORD | | Post town | Oxford | | Postcode | OX1 1ND | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ1 Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLJ14 Oxfordshire CC | | Local authority | Oxford | | Electoral ward | Osney & St Thomas | | Westminster constituency | Oxford West and Abingdon | | 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 ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 24 Jul 2023 at 09:13 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4dcb527f-675b-4033-b93e-206da81f4c37 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4dcb527f-675b-4033-b93e-206da81f4c37 24th July 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.oxfordshire.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
