## Summary

The procurement process for the "Children's Home Collaborative Project" is currently in the planning stage, orchestrated by West Sussex County Council. This initiative, anticipated to offer a new residential care solution for children and young persons, especially those with complex needs, is expected to benefit approximately 30 service users in West Sussex. The procurement's main category is services within the health and social work sector. The project is planned to take place in the UKJ2 region, with a planned contract starting from 1st July 2026 and potentially extending until 30th June 2032. As this is a pipeline notice, it does not yet constitute the commencement of a procurement procedure, and the formal notice for the tender is expected on 15th April 2026. The project is substantial, with a planned value of £79,000,000 and includes a framework agreement within the light-touch regime.

This tender presents significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for SMEs (Small and Medium-sized Enterprises) and VCSEs (Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprises) due to the suitability criteria. Companies specialising in health and social work services and capable of delivering comprehensive residential care solutions are well-suited to compete for this long-term contract. The inclusion of a framework agreement further enhances its attractiveness, providing businesses the potential to secure ongoing collaboration with West Sussex County Council. With the projected start date still a year away, interested businesses have ample time to prepare strategic proposals to engage in this significant public sector opportunity.
