In plain English
Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council is looking for Ofsted-registered supported accommodation providers to house teenagers aged 16-17 in their care across the Tees Valley area. This is a framework contract that stays open for new providers to join throughout its 5-year term. They will book accommodation on an as-needed basis with no guaranteed minimum volume.
What the buyer wants
• Provide Ofsted-registered supported accommodation (safe housing) for 16-17 year olds in care, located in the Tees Valley area • Be available for placements on an ad-hoc basis as the council needs beds • Meet the council's individual requirements and contract terms (which may vary)
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
You must be Ofsted-registered to even bid. Most small independent landlords or unlicensed providers will be disqualified automatically. This is a children's services contract with strict regulatory requirements that rule out the vast majority of small tradespeople and general businesses.
How to bid
This is a framework: the buyer picks a set of suppliers now and awards work to them over several years. If you are not on it when it is awarded, you usually cannot win work from it until it is re-tendered, so this is the window to bid.
