## Summary

East Riding of Yorkshire Council intends to procure children’s home care services across East Riding of Yorkshire. The service will support young people under 18, often alongside education, in their own homes. It is intended to complement the council’s existing short-break arrangements, which support children and their families to access the community, rather than replace them. The requirement focuses on wraparound support based in the young person’s home, including care for young people with multiple conditions. This is a social work service delivered without accommodation, covering practical and personal support in a community and home-care setting. The procurement is for services and is being developed by a local authority for public-sector children’s care provision.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the council has announced an intention to buy and has not issued an invitation to tender. It expects to publish the next notice by 15 February 2027. The planned contract period is from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2032. The council currently spends approximately £2 million a year on children’s home care through several approaches; this is an indication of current annual spend, not a stated contract value. The procurement is expected to use a light-touch regime and a framework agreement, with one planned lot. It is above the relevant threshold. The council has not yet set out bid deadlines, award criteria or detailed participation requirements.

The requirement is likely to suit established children’s home-care providers, specialist care agencies and voluntary, community or social enterprises able to support young people under 18 in their own homes. Relevant capability includes delivering flexible wraparound support alongside education, helping children access the community, and working safely with young people who have multiple conditions. Providers should be prepared to demonstrate suitable care practice, safeguarding arrangements, dependable staffing and the capacity to work with families and other professionals around an individual young person’s needs. The planned lot is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises as well as voluntary, community and social enterprises, so organisations of different sizes may wish to monitor the procurement and prepare for the future framework process.

## Notice

The Council currently spends approximately PS2million per annum through a variety of approaches on home care for children. The council currently has a mechanism for delivering short breaks for those under 18 and their families, where the individuals are supported to access the community. This requirement is for support that is often provided as a wrap around education provision and based within the young person's home. Many of the young people have multiple conditions.
