The procurement stage is currently at the planning phase, with an engagement end date set for the 1st of August, 2024. The Council aims to commission value-for-money supported accommodation services for young people in its care, with a focus on improving current services and gathering insights from providers across the sector. The tender requires interested businesses to register with CSW-JETS to express interest and download documents for participation. This tender by Warwickshire County Council presents an opportunity for businesses involved in welfare services, social work, and health and social work services to offer their expertise in providing supported accommodation for vulnerable young people. Companies well-suited to compete are those able to deliver safe living environments and support services for young individuals transitioning to independent living. By engaging in this tender, businesses can contribute to shaping the future commissioning strategy of the Council and enhancing the support systems available for children in care and care leavers. ## Notice The Warwickshire Supported Accommodation Framework contract expires on 30th June 2025 and the Council needs to consider options for new services to commence from 1st July 2025. WCC wants to understand the market and ensure that it continues to commission value for money, quality supported accommodation services that best meet the needs of the young people in its care. Your participation will also contribute ideas as to how the current services may be improved. WCC is very keen to hear your views. Even if you cannot answer all the questions, please still complete what you can and/or provide short answers as it is important that we get as many responses as possible from a range of providers across the sector to broaden our understanding and inform future commissioning strategy. Accommodation with support provides young people leaving care who are 16/17 years old and/or UASC, with a safe living environment where they are supported to develop the skills and experience to enable them to move safely to independent living in the future. Supported accommodation is not expected to provide 'care' in the same way as children's homes and young people typically have more independence and autonomy.
