Description

Herefordshire Council is seeking to appoint a service provider to deliver an accommodation based support service for children in care and care leavers aged 16-25.
The Service will support vulnerable young people who are making the transition from a care to a support setting and who may need varying levels of support, guidance, and input from specialist teams.

Herefordshire Council will make available properties for use under this contract and the provider will be required to enter into coterminous lease agreements strictly for accommodating vulnerable young people under this contract.

The Invitation to Tender (ITT) is being carried out under the Light Touch Regime (LTR) allowed within The Public Contract Regulations 2015, Reg 74 to 77 and therefore applies the flexibilities afforded under above regulation.

The service delivery will commence on 1 April 2025 will continue until 31 March 2028, with an option to extend for up to 24 months.
