Description

This is a market sounding exercise. Kirklees Council is looking into a potential procurement option to put in place future contractual arrangements for suitably qualified and experienced organisations to deliver housing related support for young people in a supported accommodation setting. The contract will be required to commence on 1st October 2024 and is likely to run for a maximum of 10 years.

To support this, we would like to gain information from the market regarding a number of issues related to the potential procurement exercise. Suppliers are therefore invited to consider the programme requirements detailed in this document and complete the attached questionnaire to give us feedback on the proposed approach.

This Market Sounding Exercise (MSE) is not an invitation to tender or a request for formal expressions of interest. The Council, as contracting authority, is issuing this request for information only, in order to assess the reaction of the market and thus make any potential procurement process more focused and efficient.

This process is being undertaken to gather knowledge in the following areas:
 The potential level of interest, from providers, in this contract opportunity.
 The capability of providers to deliver a tried and tested programme.

The benefits to your organisation in participating in this process include:
 The chance to assess whether the opportunity will be suitable and of interest to you.
 The chance to raise any risks, concerns or issues regarding the potential opportunity.

This document provides background information regarding the housing related support service. Also set out in this document are a number of questions designed to find out:

 your appetite for bidding for a contract to deliver this service.
 your views on any barriers to delivering the service and possible solutions to those barriers.

Your responses will assist us in creating a procurement process which is well-framed, focused, feasible and likely to be of interest to the market. This process focuses on the market as a whole, rather than on the merits of individual organisations.
