## Summary

The London Borough of Sutton has recently completed a procurement process titled "Modification of a Semi-Independent Accommodation Framework," aimed at health and social work services. This process was initiated under an open procedure and falls within the services category. The framework agreement, originally concluded in March 2018, has now been modified to extend its validity for up to 12 months, with key dates including the original contract's expiry on 31 March 2022. The estimated contract value ranges from GBP 1.5 million to GBP 3.5 million and covers two lots focused on supporting looked after children and care leavers, with procurement efforts directed towards providing semi-independent accommodation services.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the health and social care sectors, particularly those experienced in offering accommodation services for young individuals transitioning to independence. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in social work, housing support, or care services are well-positioned to compete, especially those that understand the unique challenges faced by young people in these circumstances. Firms capable of delivering high-quality services with a focus on developing independence are encouraged to engage in this competitive procurement, given the flexibility of the framework to accommodate various needs and specialisations.

The framework was due to expire on 31 March 2022. The contract value was between (GBP) 1 500 000.00 GBP and 3 500 000.00. On 31 January 2021, the above named authority modified the framework for up to 12 months. The modification was under regulation 72 (1) ( c ) of the publication contract regulations on the grounds that the authority or the market were in a position to tender or bid for a new framework following the impact of the Covid 19 pandemic on resources. The modification does not alter the overall nature of the contract and the estimated spend over the 9 months (PS450,000) will not exceed 50% of the value of the original contract or framework agreement. The framework has 2 lots. Lot 1 - Reducing need and developing independence; and Lot 2 - Developing independence. The framework will operate to allow the local authority to identify placements for looked after children (over the age of 16 years) and care leavers with Semi-independent Accommodation providers.
