## Summary

Wirral Council procured supported lodgings for homeless young people aged 16 to 21. The service is intended for young people who may have become homeless following parental breakdown or who may have previously lived in foster or residential care. It provides accommodation and support to help residents develop the skills needed to maintain their own tenancy or other accommodation. The service can accommodate up to 23 young people at any one time. This is a social care and supported accommodation service, with the work delivered in the Wirral area. The requirement sits within health and social work services. It is relevant to organisations providing supported lodgings, accommodation-based support, homelessness services, leaving-care support or related services for vulnerable young people.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Local Solutions. Wirral Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under the light-touch regime. There was one completed lot. The contract was signed on 19 March 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 December 2026. Its gross value is £145,640.52. The contract is active and the award is active. The evaluation route was therefore a direct appointment rather than a competitive tender, with the requirement focused on delivering supported lodgings for homeless 16 to 21-year-olds in the council’s area. Local Solutions is the selected supplier for the full requirement.

This procurement shows demand from Wirral Council for specialist supported accommodation for homeless young people aged 16 to 21, at a scale of up to 23 residents at a time. A credible future competitor would need to provide or manage suitable lodgings, support young people affected by homelessness, family breakdown or previous care placements, and help residents build the practical skills required to sustain accommodation. Relevant capability includes safeguarding vulnerable young people, coordinating accommodation with support, managing placements and responding to differing levels of need. Experience in homelessness, supported housing, youth services, foster-care transitions or social care would be commercially relevant. Providers should also understand the operational demands of running a local service for multiple young residents and working with a council commissioner.
