Introduction:
To help define and develop Wrexham County Borough Councils (WCBC) Procurement Strategy and Service Specification for Young Persons Supported Accommodation, WCBC wishes to engage with potential providers prior to the release of any official procurement exercise.
The purpose of this engagement/market testing is to provide WCBC with the opportunity to better understand the market in order to refine its approach and shape future service delivery. Once WCBC has engaged with the market and understood the offerings available, a procurement exercise may be conducted (route to market currently undecided).
Service Overview:
Wrexham Housing Support Grants and Development Team are seeking to re-commission 9 units of supported accommodation delivered from a single site within Wrexham County Borough for young people aged 16-25.
The service aims to enable vulnerable young people to gain the skills needed to obtain and sustain their own accommodation by empowering them to take control of their finances, understand their obligations as contract holders and improve their life skills thereby reducing the likelihood of repeat homelessness.
The service provider would be expected to enter into a management agreement with a Registered Social Landlord relating to the accommodation. Accommodation costs/housing management costs would not be covered by the service contract. The service contract would be for delivery of eligible housing-related support funded through Housing Support Grant.
Next Steps:
The aim of this market engagement is to allow potential and existing providers to discuss the future provision of the Young Persons Supported Accommodation service with WCBC and ask questions about the process for the forthcoming tender opportunity. It will also provide an opportunity for WCBC to better understand the marketplace and develop its requirements accordingly.
Any organisations interested in participating in this market engagement exercise should contact Marc.Johnson@wrexham.gov.uk to arrange a meeting, along with a brief overview of their offering / organisation.
Please note that WCBC cannot guarantee that it will be able to meet with every organisation that expresses an interest, nor does it commit to meeting any organisation as part of this market engagement exercise. Subject to location and availability potential meetings will likely be held via Teams - WCBC will not reimburse any costs incurred by any organisations during this Market Engagement exercise.
Please note that this market engagement places no onus on WCBC to subsequently issue a tender, request for quotation or other procurement exercise for any or all of the goods, works or services described.
Any values and contract dates detailed within this notice are an estimate only. For the purposes of this notice WCBC is treating this as above threshold. Subject to available funding, contract length etc, the actual value at the tender stage may be below the relevant thresholds as outlined in the Procurement Act 2023.
