This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the social work, health, housing, and community service sectors to expand their operations and impact. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to participate. The nature of the project demands expertise in high-intensity supported accommodation and the ability to deliver flexible, responsive care. Companies focused on providing innovative solutions for young people facing housing instability and complex needs are well-suited for this project, which aims to empower individuals toward sustainable independent living.

Young people's needs will be such that they require support at a staff to client ratio of 1:2.5, and will require the presence of sleep-in staff overnight, with the flexibility to increase staff ratios dependant on need which may include waking night staff.
