24 hour Bespoke Service for one Young Person

Conwy County Borough Council, in partnership with Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board (BCUHB), initiated a public procurement for a 24-hour bespoke service aimed at supporting a 16-year-old returning to live in the Conwy area. The tender process, originally planned and active in 2022, was to award a contract for high-quality trauma-informed care services under CPV classification 85000000, focusing on health and social work. While the procurement previously progressed through stages from planning to tender, the most recent status indicates the process was subsequently cancelled.

The planned timeline anticipated the commencement of the tender within a week of announcement, following an accelerated open procedure due to urgent requirements under regulation 27(5) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015. This procurement primarily targeted service delivery in Conwy, UK, and was valued at approximately £900,000, with a potential extension after an initial three-year term. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the health and social care sector, specifically those experienced in delivering domiciliary and residential care services for young people.

Companies with capabilities in trauma-informed care and a track record of collaboration with multidisciplinary teams would find this tender particularly suitable. The procurement process encouraged proposals for either supported living or solo residential care, opening doors for tailored services that align with the primary goal of easing the young person's transition into independent living within a supportive environment. Interested businesses had the opportunity to contribute to long-term community benefits aligned with social and economic objectives of the contracting authority.
