In plain English

Worcestershire County Council wants to rent furnished 2 or 3 bedroom homes for young people leaving care and for families with children under 18 who have no recourse to public funds. The contract is worth about £1.7 million and is split into three lots, one each for Worcester City, Redditch and Kidderminster.

What the buyer wants

• Provide furnished 2 or 3 bedroom accommodation for up to 18 young adults and/or 6 families with children of varying ages, split across the three districts. • Locate the accommodation close to good transport links, schools and colleges, and other community services. • Bid for one or more of the three district lots, Worcester City, Redditch or Kidderminster, as set out in the service specification.

Requirements

What could rule a small business out (our reading of the notice, written with AI): The notice does not list specific qualification or financial criteria, but it requires suitable, furnished properties in named towns for vulnerable young people and families, so a small business without an existing portfolio of suitable homes in those areas would most likely be ruled out.

Always check the tender documents.
