The procurement falls under the industry category of social work services, with a focus on housing support for young individuals at risk of homelessness. The award was made using an open procedure under the light-touch regime, with the procurement process leading to its completion on 10th February 2026. The project is set to be operational from 1st February 2026 to 31st January 2029, with potential extensions up to 2031. The initiative is allocated across various locations, including Hambleton, Harrogate, Richmondshire, Scarborough, and Selby, providing a total of 57 24/7 staffed accommodation units and 88 supported accommodation units. This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for organisations specialised in social work and housing support services. Companies like Inspire North, which have been awarded the contract, serve as examples of large-scale operations suited to deliver such comprehensive services.

The contract offers potential for long-term collaboration and expansion through its renewal options, making it an attractive prospect for businesses looking to establish or solidify their presence in the social services sector. ## Notice This Service is for vulnerable young people aged between 18 and 25 years, including care leavers up to their 26th birthday, who may be experiencing difficulties with their housing situation, who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless and have been assessed as having support needs, both as a result of their age, and a consequence of being unable to live with their own families or extended kin once mediation options have been exhausted in Authorities Young People's Prevention Pathway (Pathway 1).
