Published requirement description

BCP Council are commissioning Supported Accommodation Services for Children in Care

aged 16 - 18 years, for whom the authority has a statutory responsibility for, in line with

Ofsted requirements and regulations for the sector.

Supported Accommodation Services enable children to prepare for independent living,

utilising support (rather than care) to aid children to achieve positive outcomes.

In accordance with the sufficiency duty placed upon local authorities, wherever it is safe

and appropriate to do so, BCP Council intend to support children to remain living in theirlocal area; to maintain in contact with, and access to, their family and friends, education

services, health and wellbeing services and local communities.

The anticipated start date of the contract is April 2026.

The contract will be 5 years with the option to extend for a further 3 years (5+2+1).

Therefore, if all extensions were to be taken, the full length of the contract would be 8

years.

  • The authority expects to re-tender this requirement around 1 Jan 2034, 23:59 GMT.

Published award criteria (2)
  • Quality
  • Price
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 10 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 1 point. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “Supported Accommodation Services Framework for Children in Care” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract, and call-offs are awarded directly: getting appointed is the whole game.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
