## Summary

Warwickshire County Council has established a procurement process for a framework agreement concerning supported accommodation for young people aged 16 and above, including looked after children and unaccompanied asylum-seeking children. This contract, valued at £120 million, commenced on 10 October 2025 and will last until 31 August 2029, with a potential extension of up to four years. The project focuses on welfare services for children and young people, covering regions within the United Kingdom. The procurement utilised an open method with a competitive flexible procedure, ensuring high standards of accommodation and support are consistently maintained across the framework. The tender process involved multiple stages, including quality and cost assessments, ensuring that only qualified providers were awarded under Lot 1 and Lot 2, which address needs for care leavers and unaccompanied asylum-seeking children respectively.

The WCC Supported Accommodation Framework presents substantial business growth opportunities for suppliers, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with experience in welfare and residential services. By securing a position in this framework, businesses can engage with ongoing placements and provide high-quality, cost-efficient solutions that meet public sector standards. Suppliers capable of providing nurturing and adaptable living environments for young individuals transitioning to independence are best positioned for success. This initiative not only supports vulnerable youth but also allows participating businesses to establish long-term contracts, validate their services in the public sector, and expand their operational reach within the social care industry.

## Notice

Purpose of this procurement WCC is seeking to put in place a new framework for supported accommodation for CiC and UASC to replace the existing Warwickshire Framework. The new arrangements will fulfil WCC's sufficiency duty and enable WCC to achieve and ensure: * The safety and well-being of Warwickshire young people in appropriate accommodation * High quality accommodation in Warwickshire and other locations of choice for Warwickshire young people and UASC * High standards and consistency of support for young people in accommodation * Value for money.

### Lot Information

Lot 1: Care Leavers

Lot 1: Care Leavers Warwickshire County Council (WCC) is seeking providers to deliver supported accommodation for Warwickshire Children in Care, Care Leavers and Unaccompanied Asylum-Seeking Children (UASC) aged 16 and above. Successful providers will be invited to join a framework and WCC shall be able to call off placements with contracted providers as and when required in respect of young people eligible for the services. Supported Accommodation should provide a safe, homely and nurturing living environment where young people are supported to develop the life skills and experience to enable them to move safely to independent adult living in the future. Supported accommodation is not expected to provide 'care' in the same way as children's homes and young people typically have more independence and autonomy. For the avoidance of doubt, providers will be expected to source the properties required to deliver the service. This may include self-contained flats, shared houses and flats and HMOs. Providers must be able to demonstrate their experience of delivering accommodation and support to Children in Care, Care Leavers and/or UASC appropriate to the Lot(s) they are applying for. Providers will work with WCC to achieve positive outcomes for young people in line with their Care/Pathway Plan. Outcomes will be aligned to Ofsted's eight key principles for supported accommodation as set out in Ofsted's Guide to the Supported Accommodation Regulations.

Renewal: The initial contract term will be for 4 years however the Council reserves the right to extend the contract by further periods not exceeding 48 months (4 years) at the discretion of the Council based on the contract performance of the successful applicants.
