The procurement stage was classified as 'Award', with a contract value of £588,723.62 GBP. The procurement method was an 'Open procedure', and the tender period ended on November 18, 2022. The contract period is set from April 1, 2023, to March 31, 2028. The service falls under the industry category of 'Welfare services for children and young people'. Businesses providing accommodation and support services for young individuals, especially those with learning or physical disabilities, emotional and behavioral problems, care leavers, asylum seekers, and those at risk of homelessness, would find this tender appealing. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate in this opportunity offered by the Cheshire East Borough Council to cater to the varied needs of young people in the region for the next five years. ## Notice Cheshire East Council aims to provide a Supported Lodging Accommodation Service, which will be available to 16-17 year old cared for children and care leavers as defined by The Children (Leaving Care) Act 2000. The service could also be utilised by former relevant care leavers until the age of 25yrs with agreement from permanence and throughcare team's service manager. Care Leavers move towards independence at a pace that is right for them. Care Leavers develop the skills and the confidence they need to maximise their chances of successful maturity to adulthood. They receive the right level of practical, emotional and financial support until they are at least 21, and, where necessary, until they are 25. Care Leavers have accommodation that best meets their needs and helps them to develop their independent skills safely. Providers of accommodation and support services should therefore submit applications that will meet the service needs and provide short and longer term accommodation and support for young people within this age bracket and suitable to support a wide range of young people to include those with learning and or physical disability, those with emotional and behavioural problems, care leavers, asylum seekers and young people who are identified by the council who are at risk of homelessness. The supported lodgings service provides accommodation and bespoke support for young people who reside within the 'host' own residence, with the 'host' being regarded as a role model and mentor to the young person/s. The service is delivered in the Host's own homes and will need to have packages individually tailored to the young person. The supplier will recruit 10 hosts for the entirety of the 5-year contract that are all able to accommodate a range of needs that fall within a three tier model; * Tier One- Basic support * Tier Two - Complex Independent * Tier Three - Complex Dependent Additional information: This opportunity will be published on The Chest at https://www.the-chest.org.uk/ Providers will need to be registered on the Chest to access this opportunity, The Chest reference is DN636732 ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/351a7ba9-f125-439d-b10d-01c47f15df67 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 25 Jan 2023 | | Submission deadline | 18 Nov 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 4 Jan 2023 | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2023 - 31 Mar 2028 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £750,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £588,723 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CHESHIRE EAST BOROUGH COUNCIL | | Locality | SANDBACH | | Post town | Crewe | | Postcode | CW11 1HZ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD6 Cheshire | | ITL 3 | TLD62 Cheshire East | | Local authority | Cheshire East | | Electoral ward | Sandbach Town | | Westminster constituency | Congleton | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | BIRKENHEAD FORUM HOUSING ASSOCIATION | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85311300 - Welfare services for children and young people ## Release History - 25 Jan 2023 at 16:08 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/351a7ba9-f125-439d-b10d-01c47f15df67 - 18 Oct 2022 at 09:52 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ecf1277f-c3e2-4afd-82e8-1de121b977fe ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/351a7ba9-f125-439d-b10d-01c47f15df67 25th January 2023 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ecf1277f-c3e2-4afd-82e8-1de121b977fe 18th October 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.cheshireeast.gov.uk/ - https://www.the-chest.org.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
