## Summary

The South Gloucestershire Council is inviting tenders for the project titled "Placement of Young People in Leaving Care/Independent Living Settings", which falls within the social work and related services industry. The procurement is currently in the active tender stage, with an open procedure method for engaging suppliers. This Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) aims to commission support for young individuals primarily aged 16-18 under the council's statutory duty. The tender process includes four lots, and proposals must be submitted by 13th November 2017. The total value of this contract is approximately £38,282,080, with services being delivered in the South West region of England.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in social work, care services, or support for young people. Businesses capable of providing placements, independent living arrangements, and additional floating support services are particularly well-suited to compete in this procurement. Winning this contract can enhance business growth by establishing long-term relationships with local authorities and expanding the scope of services offered to vulnerable young individuals transitioning to independent living.

## Notice

Five South West Local Authorities are setting up a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) which will be used to commission support for young people primarily aged between 16-18 for whom the Local Authority has a statutory duty. The tender process is to appoint suppliers to be part of the DPS from which the Councils will commission support. This tender opportunity is split into four lots that include arranging/providing placements of young people in leaving care/independent living settings and the provision of floating support to enable young people to live independently in their own accommodation, Ofsted/CQC registration will be essential for one lot.
