## Summary

The Greater Manchester Combined Authority has completed a direct award for a project titled "Supported Accommodation / Health Care for Children in Residential Care Feasibility Studies." This procurement falls under the industry category of Health and Social Work Services (CPV 85000000) and is valued at £70,000. The project's focus is on conducting feasibility studies to improve supported accommodation and healthcare services for young people aged 16-24. The award stage commenced on 23rd July 2024, and the contract duration extends from 30th July 2024 to 31st January 2025. The procurement method employed was direct award via exemption as per the GMCA constitution, highlighting the immediate need for expertise in this domain.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for firms specialising in health and social services. Businesses equipped with extensive knowledge of stakeholder engagement, and expertise in care services for young people, are well-suited to this opportunity. It is an ideal contract for SMEs and VCSEs looking to expand their footprint in the public sector, specifically within the Greater Manchester area. Firms that can demonstrate a strong track record in data analysis, stakeholder interviews, and comprehensive care models will find this project aligns well with their capabilities and growth strategies.

## Notice

As part of GM's successful Regional Care Cooperative bid there was a commitment to undertake feasibility studies focused on reimagining what the supported accommodation offer for 16 - 24 year olds (given the challenges that exist in terms of supply and suitability of accommodation) and the health care offer for children in residential care (given the variation in models and their impact). Both pieces of work will require extensive stakeholder engagement through interviews with local authorities, NHS colleagues, providers and young people alongside analysis of available data. This will require dedicated resources from people with the appropriate expertise and subject knowledge ****Issued as a direct award via exemption route as per the GMCA constitution ****
