The procurement process falls under the social work services with accommodation industry category. The event aims to engage organizations experienced in providing accommodation and support for young people leaving care and homeless young people. The market engagement event will occur on 25th November 2024, at The Beehive Resource Centre, West St, Grays, RM17 6XP, with the engagement end date noted as 18th November 2024. Interested participants are encouraged to confirm their attendance through the In-Tend correspondence facility. This tender presents significant opportunities for organizations in the private and voluntary sectors to collaborate with Thurrock Council in developing innovative service models for supporting young care leavers. Businesses specializing in supported accommodation, floating support, accessing private rented sectors, supported lodgings, post-18 accommodation, and related fields would find this engagement beneficial for growth. Companies with a strong commitment to achieving positive outcomes for young people, and those offering therapeutic or specialist services, are well-suited to compete and potentially secure procurement opportunities emerging from this engagement exercise. ## Notice Thurrock Council's Children's Services are seeking to engage with experienced organisations with a background in providing accommodation and / or support for young people leaving care and homeless young people. We have high aspirations for our young people and want to collaborate with organisations from the private and voluntary sector to co-design an approach to enabling our young people to grow into happy, healthy, adults, living fulfilling lives. We are particularly interested in working with organisations with experience of supported accommodation, floating support, accessing the private rented sector, supported lodgings, post 18 accommodation, crash pads or any other successful approaches to helping young people transition into the adult world. In support of this, we are holding a market engagement event, which will be used to inform how we support our young people and subsequent tender opportunities. The event will be held on 25th November 2024, from 9:30am to 1:00pm at The Beehive Resource Centre, West St, Grays RM17 6XP. This engagement event will: * Share the vision we have for how our young people experience transitioning from care, including the types of accommodation and support they will need. * Discuss how we can work most effectively together to achieve this vision, including considering different approaches to contracting for services. * Provide an overview of the Council's current and projected needs for accommodation and support for those leaving care and homeless young people. * Begin to develop a model for how the Local Authority and the private and voluntary sector will work in partnership to secure the very best possible outcomes for the young people of Thurrock. Thurrock Council is particularly interested in: * Organisations with experience of supported accommodation; floating support; accessing the private rented sector; supported lodgings; post 18 accommodation; crash pads or any other successful approaches to helping young people transition into the adult world. * Organisations with a strong commitment to achieving positive, measurable outcomes for young people. * Organisations capable of offering therapeutic or specialist services for young people with complex needs. * Organisations who are willing to collaborate on innovative service models with a focus on what young people need and what works.
