This procurement is currently in the planning stage, and engagement with interested organisations will conclude on 23 February 2018. The service is intended to commence following the expiry of the existing contract on 31 March 2018. The procurement covers the West Midlands region in the United Kingdom and is classified under social work and related services (CPV code 85300000). This tender presents significant opportunities for organisations specialising in accommodation and support services for young people. Providers with a strong track record in assisting vulnerable populations, particularly those focused on fostering independent living skills, will find this engagement particularly pertinent. Companies that can demonstrate experience in managing similar services and are capable of meeting the specific needs outlined by Herefordshire Council are encouraged to participate in the market engagement process to potentially secure future contracts. ## Notice Herefordshire Council currently commissions an Accommodation Based Support Service for Young People and the contract ceases on 31 March 2018. There is a specific focus on care leavers and other young people over 16 to whom the council has a statutory duty. The council would welcome interest from organisations with a proven track record in delivering and managing accommodation and support for vulnerable young people with moderate support needs. The service must work towards developing or sustaining a young person's capacity to live independently.
