## Summary

The procurement process involves a direct award call-off for children's services under East Sussex County Council's Adult Social Care Supported Accommodation Approved List. This specific contract aims to provide supported accommodation at Hastings Foyer, located in Hastings, East Sussex, and is targeted at male and female care leavers, unaccompanied asylum-seeking children, and young homeless individuals aged 16 to 21. The procurement falls under the category of Health and social work services, with the procurement stage marked as complete, and the contract having been signed on 2nd May 2025. The procurement method was limited and did not require prior competition publication, adhering to the Council's approved criteria. The project covers a period of three years with a potential extension of two additional years, beginning 1st April 2027.

This tender presents significant opportunities for organisations specialising in social care and supported accommodation services to expand their portfolios and demonstrate their capability in supporting vulnerable youth transitions to independent living. Businesses that can meet the Council's direct award criteria and offer high-quality service within budget constraints, such as large organisations like YMCA DownsLink Group who have already secured the contract, will be well-suited to succeed in similar opportunities. The substantial value of over £1.9 million for the entire contract period underscores the potential for financial growth and stability for businesses able to meet these specialised community needs.
