## Summary

Central Bedfordshire Council procured social work services with accommodation for a person aged 16 or over. The requirement was an accommodation placement with staffing available around the clock, rather than a general housing or construction contract. The service was arranged through the council’s 16+ Accommodation Dynamic Purchasing System, specifically its lot for 24/7 staffing. Delivery information covers the United Kingdom and includes the SG17 5TQ area, with the council based at Chicksands in Central Bedfordshire. The appointed provider was Hope for 16 plus, an organisation based in Luton. This opportunity is therefore relevant to providers of supported accommodation, residential placements and social care services for young people aged 16 and over, particularly those able to provide continuous staffing and accommodation.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. The placement was awarded on 7 August 2026 to Hope for 16 plus through a further competition under Lot 1 of the 16+ Accommodation Dynamic Purchasing System. The award value is £0 GBP. The tender deadline was 5 August 2026 at 13:30. The stated contract period runs from 7 August 2026 to 8 August 2027, with the award record giving the same start and end dates. The procurement was for services and used a further-competition route within the DPS. Central Bedfordshire Council is the buyer. The award is active, and the tender status is complete. The process was not presented as a standard open tender, but as a placement-specific call-off competition under an established purchasing system.

For a provider that did not win this placement, the award demonstrates demand from Central Bedfordshire Council for individually arranged accommodation and 24/7 staffing for people aged 16 and over. A credible future provider would need suitable accommodation, the ability to offer continuous staffing and supervision, and experience delivering social work or supported-living services to young people. Operational resilience matters because the requirement combines housing with round-the-clock care provision rather than providing either service alone. Organisations should be able to demonstrate safe placement management, appropriate staff capability and the capacity to respond consistently throughout the placement. The successful supplier was Hope for 16 plus, indicating that specialist providers focused on 16-plus accommodation and support are the relevant competitive group for this requirement.
