This initiative falls under the health and social work services sector and is currently in the planning stage. Notably, the engagement end date is set for 31 March 2019. The commissioners have been actively seeking input from stakeholders as part of their efforts to potentially recommission services aimed at supporting homeless young people and care leavers after current block contracts expire in 2019. This tender presents significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in health and social work services. Businesses with expertise in providing supported accommodation or similar services will find this procurement process relevant, as stakeholders are encouraged to contribute to shaping the future service delivery model. Engaging in this process allows businesses to demonstrate their capabilities and influence service design to better meet community needs. ## Notice Commissioners openly invited stakeholders, to express their interest in participating in a market engagement event, which was scheduled for 7th September 2018. During the event Commissioners presented their proposals to attendees, which have been uploaded alongside this document; and feedback was sought from stakeholders during a question and answer session. Those exact questions have been uploaded for any stakeholder (that was unable to attend) who may be interested in providing a response. Current Arrangements Current services are commissioned through block contract arrangements and the North West Placement Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS). Block contracts are due to expire during 2019; and therefore we are seeking to potentially recommission services to meet the needs of both homeless young people and care leavers. Next Steps In order to ensure that we design services that will promote good outcomes for young people, we are seeking views from all stakeholders. The purpose of the event was: - For Lancashire County Council to share its vision of a future service delivery model and to seek feedback from stakeholders; - To plan towards any potential forthcoming procurement arrangements; - To build on existing expertise and ensure best use of the funding resources; - To work in partnership to maximise outcomes through innovative thinking.
