## Summary

The London Accommodation Pathfinder project is an innovative initiative aimed at providing community-based accommodation and intensive support for 16 and 17-year-old male youths, serving as an alternative to custody or remand. Spearheaded by the London Borough of Camden, this project is part of a pan-London commissioning programme involving multiple boroughs. The procurement process is in the award stage, with a significant contract value of £3,887,113, and the contract period starts on 1 July 2026. This procurement falls under the social work services with accommodation category, and a light touch regime is applied. The procurement method utilised is an open procedure, with several key buyers including London Boroughs of Camden, Islington, and Newham, among others. Notable deadlines include the standstill period ending on 7 April 2026.

The tender offers immense opportunities for businesses specialising in supported accommodation and social work services, particularly those capable of expanding to meet growing demand evidenced across London boroughs. Companies with a robust community engagement approach and innovative support systems will find success in this venture. The London Accommodation Pathfinder is especially suitable for Ofsted-registered providers adept in managing youth accommodation and fostering partnerships across boroughs. Businesses with a focus on quality service delivery, safeguarding, and social value will be well-positioned to benefit from the growth potential outlined in this contract, as it allows for scalability and expansion into additional boroughs if future needs arise.

## Notice

The London Accommodation Pathfinder (LAP) is an innovative pan-London project for 16 & 17-year-old male children (with some turning 18 whilst in the provision), as an alternative to custody or on remand with provision for resettlement. The service will provide community-based accommodation and intensive support to meet the shortfall of appropriate provision in London. This contract builds on some of the successes of the current model and will continue to develop best practice for this cohort of children. The provision will be for 5 placements in a single supported accommodation setting, with scope in the contract to bring additional units online if the demand can be evidenced. The contract will contain a clause which will allow for growth of the service in other boroughs. The London Accommodation Pathfinder forms part of the Association of London Directors of Children's Services (ALDCS) and London Innovation and Improvement Alliance (LIIA) Pan London Commissioning Programme which has a remit to secure better quality, value and choice in high cost, low incidence, placements. The service will provide a bespoke support and risk management programme designed around this cohort of children. The Provision is directly overseen by the London Accommodation and Resettlement Partnership more commonly referred to as the LARP.
