In plain English

West Sussex County Council is looking for providers to join an ongoing framework that supplies housing and support services for young people aged 16+ who are in the care system or have recently left it. This is a reopened framework, meaning new suppliers can apply to join at any time during the agreement period.

What the buyer wants

• Provide safe, suitable accommodation for looked after young people and care leavers aged 16 and over • Deliver wraparound support services tailored to help young people transition to independence • Work within West Sussex County Council's quality standards and safeguarding requirements as part of the active framework

Likely requirements

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

This contract is for specialist residential care and support services, not a construction or trades contract. Small builders, cleaners, electricians and most tradespersons will not qualify unless they are already established care providers with proven safeguarding, training, and compliance frameworks in place.

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.
