In plain English

London Borough of Newham is looking for organisations to provide accommodation and support services for children in care and young people leaving the care system, including semi-independent living, children's homes, supported lodgings, and fostering agencies. This is a rolling purchasing system where new suppliers can apply in multiple rounds over time.

What the buyer wants

• Provide one or more of four service types: semi-independent living accommodation, Ofsted-regulated children's homes, supported lodgings for young people, or independent fostering agency services • Services must be available to looked-after children, care leavers, and homeless or at-risk young people • Suppliers must be capable of working within a light-touch procurement regime with transparency and equal treatment standards

Likely requirements

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

This contract is almost certainly restricted to established care providers and regulated organisations: if you are not already Ofsted-registered (for homes and fostering) or do not have substantial, proven experience delivering child care and accommodation services, you will not be competitive.

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.
