## Summary

The North Yorkshire Council is planning a residential placement service for children and young people across North Yorkshire. The intended scope is to support a sustainable, resilient and high-quality residential care market that meets their needs. The council plans structured engagement with residential placement providers and key stakeholders to understand the market, explore its challenges and opportunities, and gather feedback to shape future commissioning, service design and procurement. The service sits within children’s welfare and social care, with accommodation, and may involve residential nursing care, education or specialist education, and related support. The procurement covers North Yorkshire; the engagement is intended to inform the design of future services rather than award placements through this process.

This process is at the planning stage: the council has set out its intention to procure, but has not invited tenders. It expects to use market engagement to inform future commissioning and procurement, and plans structured sessions with providers and stakeholders. The engagement is scheduled to take place by 13 November 2026. The council expects a future notice on 1 June 2027. The planned contract period is 1 October 2027 to 30 September 2030. The estimated gross value is £114,192,000. The procurement is described as a services contract under the light-touch regime. It is arranged as one lot. No tender evaluation basis or selection criteria are set out at this planning stage.

This planning process is most relevant to residential placement providers serving children and young people, including providers able to deliver residential care and related social care or welfare support in North Yorkshire. Providers with residential nursing care, education or specialist education capabilities may also find the stated service scope relevant. The council is seeking market feedback on current challenges and opportunities, and on how future commissioning and service design can support a sustainable, resilient and high-quality market. Providers with experience working with children and young people and insight into residential placement needs can help shape the future specification through the planned engagement. The council identifies suitability for voluntary, community and social enterprises, so organisations in those sectors may also be well placed to contribute. This is preparation for a future procurement, not a current tender opportunity.

## Notice

The Council intends to undertake a number of structured market engagement sessions with residential placement providers and key stakeholders to strengthen its understanding of the market, explore current challenges and opportunities, and gather feedback to inform future commissioning, service design and procurement activity. This engagement will support the development of a sustainable, resilient and high-quality residential care market that meets the needs of children and young people across North Yorkshire.
