In plain English

Wakefield Council is setting up a framework (called a Pseudo DPS) to find local providers who can offer accommodation and support services for vulnerable young people aged 16–25 leaving care. Providers who meet the criteria can join the framework and may be asked to deliver services on a case-by-case basis.

What the buyer wants

• Provide safe, suitable accommodation for vulnerable young people aged 16–25 leaving the care system • Deliver wraparound support services (mentoring, life skills, practical help) tailored to each young person's needs • Meet all insurance, safeguarding, and financial compliance standards set by the Council

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

This is extremely unlikely to suit a standard tradesperson (builder, electrician, plumber, etc.). This is a social care and housing contract requiring specialist expertise in youth support, safeguarding, and vulnerable young people, not construction, maintenance, or trades work. You must have experience in youth social care or housing support to apply.

How to bid

This is a Dynamic Purchasing System: an open list of approved suppliers. You can apply to join at any time while it runs, and once accepted you can bid for the individual contracts the buyer runs through it.
