## Summary

The London Borough of Bexley is initiating a tender for the provision of supported accommodation for looked after children aged 16 and 17. This opportunity, titled "4674- Provision of Supported Accommodation for Looked After Children," falls under the welfare services for children and young people category. The contract period is set to commence on 1st November 2016 and will extend until 31st October 2019, with the contract expected to be executed on a block basis. The tender publication date was 15th July 2016, with the submission deadline having been on 12th August 2016. The procurement follows a selective procurement method employing a restricted procedure, with the delivery locations specified within London, United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) within the social services sector, particularly those specialising in child welfare and accommodation services. Organisations that are adept at providing supported living arrangements, particularly those experienced in working with vulnerable groups such as looked after children, would be well-positioned to compete in this tender. Engaging in this opportunity not only allows businesses to establish long-term contracts with the council but also contributes to fulfilling a critical community need, ultimately fostering both social impact and business sustainability.

## Notice

The London Borough of Bexley has a statutory requirement for ensuring that there is placement sufficiency for all Looked after Children aged 16/17 in order that their assessed needs can be appropriately met. To help meet this requirement the Council wishes to procure 6 supported accommodation placements located at a single location, contracted on a 'block' basis. In addition to the current (block) requirements detailed above, the Council also intends to implement a Framework for the provision of future supported accommodation requirements in either Council owned or Supplier provided properties, required on a 'spot' purchase or mini competition basis.
