## Summary

Swindon Borough Council is undertaking a procurement process for the provision of semi-independent accommodation and support for separated migrant children. This process, currently in the planning stage with a focus on preliminary market engagement, invites businesses to respond to a pre-engagement questionnaire by 22nd July 2025. The procurement, classified under social work services with accommodation, takes place in Swindon and aims to establish a contract commencing on 1st April 2026, potentially extending until 31st March 2031. This initial stage seeks market insights to refine the service specifications, with an estimated contract value of £3,000,000. Interested parties can find further details in the preliminary market engagement notice issued on 7th July 2025. Swindon Borough Council serves as the buyer, highlighting its role as a sub-central public authority actively seeking service providers within the UK region.

This procurement presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in social work services, particularly those equipped to offer accommodation support. Companies with expertise in delivering integrated support services for migrant children, including floating support provisions, are well-suited to engage in this tender. With the process currently focusing on understanding market capabilities, businesses offering innovative solutions and credible experience in handling diverse needs of young migrants could significantly contribute to Swindon Borough Council’s efforts to enhance service delivery outcomes. Additionally, it poses a strategic growth opportunity for businesses looking to expand their footprint in the public sector, particularly within the service provision framework under the light-touch regime.

## Notice

Swindon Borough Council is seeking input from the market for the provision of semi-independent accommodation and support packages that will ensure the best outcomes for our children and young people. This market assessment is to assist the Council in defining a specification and contract for the services for separated migrant children and young people. Currently, the intention is that Swindon Borough Council will work with a provider that can supply a number of properties within the borough of Swindon, as well as delivering excellent support services to our children and young people. As part of the contract, Swindon require the same provider to also deliver floating support services. In terms of identifying the need of the placements, please presume the placements will be separated migrant children with varying needs. In preparation for this, it is our intention to do a Preliminary Market Engagement to review the current supply market. This advert relates to a proposed 'Preliminary Market Engagement' exercise only and is NOT a call for competition.
