## Summary

Kirklees Council has awarded contracts for the "Further Competition from EMP for 16+ Supported Accommodation Service October - December 2024" in the Health and Social Work Services industry category. This procurement, conducted under the Light Touch Regime of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, aims to establish an Electronic Market Place (EMP) for supported accommodation services for individuals aged 16 and over who are looked after children or care leavers. The selective procurement method was employed, specifically calling off from a dynamic purchasing system, and resulted in awards to several suppliers including Aleyah House, Apex Pathway, Dreamss, Independent Living Project, Inicio Group Ltd, Northern Community Pathways Limited, Restorative Social Care Services, and Youth Hubz. The contracts will run from 1st October 2024 to 30th September 2026, with activities centred in Yorkshire and the Humber, UK.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specializing in supported accommodation services within the regions, particularly those aligned with Ofsted’s categories of supported accommodation. SMEs and VCSE organizations involved in providing health and social work services for young people can greatly benefit from this initiative, especially companies capable of offering support in self-contained units, shared living situations, and private residences. By participating in this EMP, businesses can enhance their service offerings, expand their footprint in Yorkshire and the Humber, and contribute to the crucial task of aiding young care leavers in their transition to adulthood. The long-term nature of the contracts, running for two years with the potential for additional extensions, provides a stable income stream and the opportunity to form enduring partnerships with the local authority.
