The procurement is in the planning stage, with an engagement end date set for 31st March 2023. The Council seeks to consult with interested providers to ensure best value going forward. This opportunity falls under the industry categories of Health and social work services, as well as Other community, social, and personal services, with a contract value of £300,000 in GBP. This tender from St Helens Borough Council presents an opportunity for businesses, particularly SMEs and VCSEs, in England, United Kingdom. Companies offering Supported Lodgings services are well-suited to compete in this procurement. By participating in this process, businesses can contribute to improving the care transition for young people leaving care and seeking asylum, enabling them to have a better start in adulthood and benefit from stable placements. ## Notice Since 2020 St Helens Borough Council has piloted a Supported Lodgings service for our young people leaving care age 16/17 (up to 24 in certain circumstances). The pilot is due to end September 2023. It is our priority to make sure children and young people have a good start in life and benefit from a safe and stable placement into adulthood. We aim to continue to improve the current offer for young people transitioning from care and to provide appropriate support as they move into adulthood. As part of our offer to young people leaving care and for young people seeking asylum we now seek to test the local market for Supported Lodgings Services to ensure we are obtaining best value for the service going forward. To help inform its Tender / Procurement process the Council wishes to consult with providers who have an interest in the provision of Supported Lodgings For further information please go to www.The-Chest.org.uk www.The-Chest.org.uk register as a supplier then login go to find opportunities under portals select The-Chest under organisations select St Helens Council select reference DN660197 select register interest in this opportunity select To view This RFQ Event Now Click Here download documents ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/24dfcc50-5b55-4860-a1d8-173858500c1e | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 9 Mar 2023 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 31 Mar 2023 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £300,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | ST.HELENS COUNCIL | | Locality | ST HELENS | | Post town | Warrington | | Postcode | WA10 1HP | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD7 Merseyside | | ITL 3 | TLD71 East Merseyside | | Local authority | St. Helens | | Electoral ward | St Helens Town Centre | | Westminster constituency | St Helens South and Whiston | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services - 98000000 - Other community, social and personal services ## Release History - 9 Mar 2023 at 15:26 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/24dfcc50-5b55-4860-a1d8-173858500c1e ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/24dfcc50-5b55-4860-a1d8-173858500c1e 9th March 2023 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.sthelens.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
