## Summary

Reading Borough Council has completed the procurement process for the provision of accommodation with support for young people aged 18-24. Focused on delivering housing-related assistance to single young people requiring high support levels, this process was conducted through an open procedure. Located in Reading, United Kingdom, and identified under the industry category of social work services with accommodation, the final contract was awarded on 16 June 2026, with the standstill period ending on 26 June 2026. The contract period is set to start on 1 October 2026 and run until 30 September 2028, with potential renewal extensions of up to four additional years. The total contract value amounts to £1,759,232.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in social services, particularly those with experience in supporting young individuals with complex needs or those transitioning from care. The procurement attracted a robust participation with eight bids, signifying a healthy competitive landscape for interested suppliers. Launchpad Reading, a large-scale organisation, successfully secured the contract, demonstrating the scope for well-established businesses to leverage their expertise in similar future tenders. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) entities would be well-suited to compete in such processes, considering the high number of final stage bids from these sectors. This contract highlights the need for comprehensive service delivery models designed to foster young people's journey towards independent living.
