## Summary

The Northamptonshire County Council is conducting a procurement for the "Northamptonshire Independent Supported Accommodation and Support Services for Young People Aged 16-18". This initiative falls within the health and social work services category (CPV code 85000000) and targets the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom. The contract, valued at £32 million, will be awarded through an open procedure and involves a Framework Agreement split into four Lots for different types of supported accommodation and service provisions.

The procurement is currently at the award stage, having been published on 7th October 2019.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses capable of providing supported accommodation services, particularly those that specialise in care for looked after young people aged 16-18. Suitable applicants include small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as larger organisations with expertise in social care and accommodation. Potential providers can bid for one or more of the Lots, allowing firms with varying capacities and specialisations to engage in this framework, which is expected to re-open annually, providing ongoing opportunities for qualified suppliers.

## Notice

Northamptonshire County Council (Children First Northamptonshire) is setting up a Framework Agreement for the provision of supported accommodation services for looked after young people aged 16 - 18 years. The Framework Agreement is split into four (4) Lots: * Lot 1: Semi Supported Accommodation with 24 hour staffing (Accommodation Manager) and a minimum of 2 hours of 1:1 support per Young Person per week * Lot 2: Semi Independent Accommodation (solo or shared) with 2 hours of 1:1 Support per Young Person per week * Lot 3: Standard Additional Support Hours * Lot 4: Specialist Additional Support Hours. Potential Providers can tender for one, several or all Lots; however if they are tendering for Lot 1 or 2, they have to tender for Lot 3. Potential Providers can tender for Lot 3 and 4 only. The Framework Agreement is advertised under the Light Touch Regime (LTR) and will therefore be re-opened at regular intervals. The Council expects the Framework Agreement to re-open annually, but it may open at other intervals at its discretion.
