This notice concerns the procurement of Supported Accommodation to Children Looked After (CLA), Care Leavers and vulnerable young people including those who are homeless, primarily aged 16 to 21, in accordance with the Lancashire Joint Protocol 2017-2020. The key objectives are to ensure that young people have a safe place to live and have access to the appropriate support to acquire the necessary skills to move on successfully to more independent living and to develop the responsibilities associated with adulthood.
The Authority intends to procure services through utilising a Pseudo Dynamic Purchasing System (under the light touch regime), which involves 6 Categories (Lots), some of which have sub-categories and tenderers can bid for all or any individual service. Please see tender documentation for further detail.
Support provision in relation to:
(a) core service: accommodation-based support services offering a group living environment and communal areas; and
(b) emergency support service: as per the core service (a), with the additional requirement that established processes must be in place to accept emergency, same day, admissions; and
(c) visiting support service: services will include community-based (dispersed) accommodation and/or “cluster” properties managed as part of a larger accommodation-based core service.
