The tender, scheduled for January 2024, aims to fill gaps in Burnley and Wyre districts for vulnerable young people aged 16 to 21. The total value of the procurement is expected to be up to £35.7 million per annum. Information on accommodation specifications and service requirements can be found on the Council's website. This procurement presents an opportunity for service providers experienced in delivering supported accommodation services to young people. Businesses interested in providing safe, well-designed, and regulated support services in Lancashire should consider preparing their submissions to meet the specified accommodation standards. The contract allows bidders to propose support-only services or bid for multiple lots, creating opportunities for growth in the health and social work services sector. ## Notice For Information Lancashire County Council (the Council) commissions a range of supported accommodation services for young people in the county. The Services provide support to Children Looked After (CLA), Care Leavers and vulnerable young people including those who are homeless, who are primarily aged 16 to 21. The Services are regulated and are overseen by an Ofsted-led registration and inspection regime. The Council intends to tender for new contracts in January 2024 for a number of services throughout Lancashire where accommodation has been identified for the purpose of any procurement. However, in reviewing its demand for services, the Authority has identified gaps in provision in the Burnley and Wyre districts. As part of any procurement, it is intended that bidders will have the opportunity to bid for a support-only contract where the provider will be required to source the accommodation from which to deliver the support Service in these areas. Service Providers may wish to consider potential accommodation options in Burnley and Wyre districts when preparing a submission to any procurement that is published. In the event that the Council progresses to a tender process, it is anticipated that to be eligible the accommodation must: - be in a suitable location for young people to be safe from criminal and sexual exploitation, easily accessible by public transport and have access to local amenities. - be well-designed, safe, and pleasant and of a design and size in keeping with the purpose and function of supporting young people. - meet the definition of 'specified accommodation' status under the Department of Work and Pensions regulations. - meet all legislative requirements, including those set out under the Accommodation Standard contained within the Supported Accommodation Regulations (England) Guide to the Supported Accommodation Regulations including Quality Standards (publishing.service.gov.uk) - ideally provide the number of units within the minimum and maximum range of 8 to 12 for the Burnley District and 6 to 8 in the Wyre area of Cleveleys. Where the number of units in any accommodation exceeds the maximum stated, these excess units above the maximum number may be used for an alternative client group with the prior agreement of the Authority. Examples of use that may be permitted by the Authority may include Service Users receiving lower-level intensive housing management support, or Service Users in employment who pay affordable rent. The value of any procurement for all the supported accommodation services for young people is anticipated to be between PS4.5 million and PS5.1 million per annum, with an anticipated total value of up to PS35.7 million. ### Lot Information Lot 1 See main description Lot 2 See main description Lot 3 See main description Lot 4 See main description Lot 5 See main description Lot 6 See main description Lot 7 See main description Lot 8 See main description Lot 9 See main description Lot 10 See main description Lot 11 See main description Lot 12 See main description Lot 13 See main description Lot 14 See main description Lot 15 See main description Lot 16 See main description Lot 17 See main description Lot 18 See main description Lot 19 See main description Lot 20 See main description Lot 21 See main description Lot 22 See main description Lot 23 See main description Lot 24 See main description ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/036218-2023 | | Notice type | Planning Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 8 Dec 2023 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 15 Jan 2024 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £35,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LANCASHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | PRESTON | | Post town | Preston | | Postcode | PR1 8XJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD4 Lancashire | | ITL 3 | TLD45 Mid Lancashire | | Local authority | Preston | | Electoral ward | City Centre | | Westminster constituency | Preston | | Delivery location | TLD4 Lancashire | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 8 Dec 2023 at 13:28 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/036218-2023 ## Notice URLs - https://www.lancashire.gov.uk/business/tenders-and-procurement/tenders/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
