## Summary

In the county of Worcestershire, the Worcestershire Children First, under the oversight of the Worcestershire County Council, is initiating a tender process for the provision of Safe Base emergency accommodation for young people at risk of homelessness. The procurement aims to secure 5 Safe Base beds offering temporary emergency accommodation on a short-term basis, with a contract value of £350,000. The procurement method is an open procedure, with a tender deadline of 4th September 2023 and bids valid until 12th October 2023. The contract period is set to start on 1st February 2024 and runs until 31st January 2027, with a possible extension for an additional 2 years.

This tender by Worcestershire Children First presents an opportunity for service providers in the social work sector to offer emergency accommodation services for vulnerable young people. Businesses specialising in social work services with accommodation, particularly those with experience in providing support services for young people facing homelessness, would be well-suited to compete for this contract. By engaging in this tender process, companies have the chance to contribute to the community by providing vital support services to at-risk youth, thereby aligning their business goals with social welfare objectives.

## Notice

Worcestershire Children First are seeking to source 5 Safe Base beds to offer emergency accommodation on a temporary basis for overnight stays of up to 20 calendar days with an option to extend beyond 20 days in exceptional circumstances to support an effective transition for the young person. They shall provide an immediate place of safety for a young person who finds themselves in a position of homelessness. Safe bases provide short term, emergency accommodation in Worcestershire for young people aged between 16 and 17 (at the time of placement) who are experiencing homelessness. Whilst young people accessing this service are generally not Looked After Children at the time of Safe base placement, some will choose to become looked after upon making an informed decision following a joint housing assessment.
