Leicestershire Children and Families Services Gateway2Resources (G2R) - Supported Accommodation for Young People Aged 16+

Leicestershire County Council (the Council) is conducting a procurement to establish a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) in accordance with the requirements of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (SI 2015/102) (PCR 2015). The Council is asking Providers to join the Leicestershire Children and Families Services Gateway2Resources (G2R) Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to supply Supported Accommodation placements to Leicestershire’s Looked After Children (LAC), Care Leavers, Unaccompanied Asylum Seeking Children (UASC) and Young People (at risk of homelessness) not owed a social care duty between the ages of 16-18. The Council wishes to work collaboratively with Providers to ensure that placement requirements for Leicestershire’s LAC cohort can meet demand and need. We are requesting that providers apply to join the DPS and work with the Council’s vision to ensure that Leicestershire young people can live locally and are offered high quality, value for money placements. The DPS will consist of two categories; Supported Shared Accommodation for young people aged 16+, and; Independent Accommodation with Floating Support for young people aged 16+
