This involves a five-year contract to provide accommodation and support for unaccompanied asylum-seeking children, with a focus on both emergency and long-term placements dependent on immigration status. The procurement falls under the "Social work services with accommodation" industry category, and the contract covers up to 55 units in Manchester (UKD33 region). The procurement method used is an open procedure, designated as a light-touch regime under current legal guidelines. The contract award date is marked as 10th June 2026, with the standstill period ending on 22nd June 2026. The contract is set to commence on 10th October 2026 and will conclude by 9th October 2031. This tender offers significant growth opportunities for businesses specializing in social accommodation services, particularly those adept at managing the nuanced needs of asylum-seeking children. Firms with robust experience in emergency and long-term housing solutions, and a solid track record in Ofsted-regulated services, would find this opportunity particularly fitting. Moreover, social enterprises and SMEs (Small and Medium-sized Enterprises) are especially encouraged to participate, as the tender allows for contributions that enhance community social value and reflect the project's civic-driven objectives. Manchester City Council's open procurement procedure ensures a competitive and inclusive bidding environment, opening doors to innovative service providers ready to meet stringent quality care levels and foster positive service impacts in local communities. ## Notice The delivery of a five-year contract to provide accommodation and support for our UASC population.
