This event is scheduled for 13 March 2020, from 09:30 to 13:00, at the Saltwells Education Centre in Dudley, West Midlands. The tender process is open, and the engagement helps prepare for a new contract expected to be awarded in January 2021, with a deadline for participation set for 13 March 2020. This Market Engagement Event offers significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs), to engage with the procurement process and influence service delivery for young people in the region. Attendees will have the opportunity to network, participate in discussions, and learn from key speakers, making it an ideal platform for providers looking to expand their services in the welfare sector for children and young people. ## Notice Staffordshire County Council, on behalf of the Local Authorities in the West Midlands are inviting interested organisations who can offer Supported Accommodation for Young People who may be Care Leavers, Children Looked After, Young People presenting as Homeless and those that may be known to the Youth Offending Service/wider Children Services requiring accommodation for the West Midlands Region. Dudley Council is inviting providers to attend this event as your contribution and engagement is essential, in terms of ensuring that Young People have a positive experience that prepares them for independence. It will be a great opportunity to plan and prepare for the New Contract for the region in January 2021. The event seeks to engage with existing and new Providers that have the ability to deliver this service to Young People. The event will display experiences and present you with the opportunity to engage in round table discussion to help us shape services going forward. There will be an opportunity to hear from Key Speakers and Young People during the course of the event. Due to the high demand of this event, we are seeking one representative per organisation.
