The initiative reflects the council's commitment to providing essential services in compliance with upcoming national standards from Ofsted, which will take effect in Autumn 2023. This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for social service providers and organisations specialising in welfare services for children and young people. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are encouraged to participate, especially those with experience in supporting care leavers and vulnerable groups. With the demand for regulated and standardised services rising, businesses that can demonstrate quality accommodation and support services will be well-positioned to compete and contribute positively to the local community. ## Notice Bradford council are seeking Providers of semi-independent accommodation and support for 16+ Care leavers and vulnerable young People.
