The procurement was conducted as an open procedure with a "lightTouch" regime, overseen by Luton Council, located at the Town Hall, Luton, UK. The procurement progressed from planning to the tender stage and culminated in awarding the contract, signed on 27 May 2026. The contract, amounting to a gross value of £11,706,240 GBP, is set to commence on 28 May 2026 and extend until 10 May 2031, with a maximum duration until 10 May 2033, contingent on performance evaluations and funding availability. This tender represents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with proven expertise in managing Ofsted-registered children's homes rated Good or Outstanding. Businesses with an emphasis on providing high-quality health and social work services can leverage this opportunity to expand their reach within the public sector. Successfully winning this contract can lead to additional service needs due to possible renewals and extensions based on changing service user requirements and legislative demands. ENGAGEMENTs in local partnerships within Luton could also foster community support and further resource integration, favourable for businesses that prioritise localised social contributions. ## Notice Children's Residential Home services for children and young people (12-17) with social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) needs. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Options: Additional purchases will be allowed if they relate directly to the services to be provided, the needs of the service users change and/or the business needs change due to innovation, funding or legislative requirements.
