## Summary

The procurement process, led by The North Yorkshire Council, focuses on the "Young People's Pathway (Pathway 2)" project, under the industry category of social work services. This initiative is targeted at assisting vulnerable young people aged between 18 and 25 who are facing housing challenges. The council's direct award took place on 13 April 2026, following unsuccessful competitive tendering for the Craven and Ryedale lots. With an active award status, the contract commences on 1 May 2026 and is set to run until 31 January 2029, with potential extensions through to 2031. The procurement method chosen is a direct award due to no suitable tenders being received, which aligns with the legal framework provided by the Procurement Act 2023.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in social work services, particularly those capable of delivering support to younger demographics with specific housing needs. The procurement allows for growth in the areas of youth development and social welfare, specifically within the regions of Craven and Ryedale. Companies experienced in managing supported accommodation and staffed facilities will find this contract particularly advantageous. Additionally, businesses that can achieve high standards of service delivery, as measured by metrics like occupancy rate and referral acceptance, will be well-suited to contribute to the project’s success and potentially secure long-term engagement with the council.

## Notice

This Service is for vulnerable young people aged between 18 and 25 years, including care leavers up to their 26th birthday, who may be experiencing difficulties with their housing situation, who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless and have been assessed as having support needs, both as a result of their age, and a consequence of being unable to live with their own families or extended kin once mediation options have been exhausted in Authorities Young People's Prevention Pathway (Pathway 1). While the primary focus of the pathway is on individuals aged 18 to 25, there may be exceptional cases where the Housing Service is required to accommodate a 16 or 17-year-old. In such instances, providers must be prepared to obtain Ofsted registration to deliver the necessary support. Lot 1 - Craven - 6 24/7 Staffed Accommodation Units & 6 Supported Accommodation Units Lot 5 - Ryedale - 14 Supported Accommodation Units Total - 6 24/7 Staffed Accommodation Units & 20 Supported Accommodation Units

### Procurement Information

We are proposing to award the contract under Section 43 of the Procurement Act 2023, which permits the Council to make a direct award where no suitable tenders have been received through a competitive tendering process and where undertaking a further competitive process is not feasible in the circumstances. A competitive tendering exercise was completed for Lot 1 (Craven) and Lot 5 (Ryedale); however, no compliant tenders were submitted. Consequently, the decision has been made to proceed with a direct award. Procurement identifier (OCID): ocds-h6vhtk-05009f Notice identifier: 2025/S 000-077850
