## Summary

The Lancashire County Council is initiating a tender for supported accommodation services targeted at young people, including Looked After Children and Care Leavers, with a focus on improving outcomes and providing suitable housing options.

The tender process is currently active, with key dates including an enquiry period ending on 21st May 2026 and a submission deadline of 28th May 2026. This project encompasses two lots, with "Core Central" based in Preston and "Core East" based in Ribble Valley. The total contract value is £386,400, and the services must comply with Supported Accommodation Regulations (England) 2023.
