## Summary

The public procurement process for "Housing Support for Care Experienced Young People" was conducted by East Lothian Council, headquartered at John Muir House, Haddington, East Lothian. The contract, under the industry category of general public services, specifically focuses on providing support services to care-experienced young people in East Lothian, UK (region UKM73). The procurement was executed through an open procedure and awarded on the 26th of June 2026, marking its completion stage as awards were issued to "The Rock Trust". The tender aimed to secure a provider for delivering flexible housing support over a four-year period, with the procurement valued at £547,701 GBP.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses within the housing support services sector, particularly those with expertise in delivering person-centred, trauma-informed support. Companies able to provide around-the-clock service management, deliver practical life skills, and emotional support hold a distinct advantage. As the contract encompasses an outreach model, it is particularly suitable for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) capable of handling dynamic service delivery alongside peer-led initiatives. Businesses meeting these criteria could strategically position themselves for growth by engaging in meaningful community social initiatives outlined under the procurement's community benefits obligations.
