CBC-1217-LOT1-FC-235-MME 16+ Accommodation Placement - AWARD

Central Bedfordshire Council recently completed a procurement process for a social work services contract titled "CBC-1217-LOT1-FC-235-MME 16+ Accommodation Placement - AWARD" under the main category of services. The contract was awarded through a further competition under Lot 1 (24/7 Staffing) of the 16+ Accommodation Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS). The procurement is part of the initiative for providing social work services with accommodation, covering various locations including the United Kingdom and British Overseas Territories.

The tendering process culminated on 22 July 2025, with the contract period commencing on 28 July 2025 and concluding on 21 May 2026. Central Bedfordshire Council's buyer contact for this process is Sylwia Antoniuk. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses operating within the social work and accommodation sector, offering a chance to engage with local government and expand their portfolio of public sector contracts.

Although the contract was awarded to "Hope for 16 plus," businesses with expertise in social services and experience in delivering comprehensive care solutions over diverse geographical locations are well-suited to compete in similar future opportunities. Companies that do not fall into the SME or VCSE categories but have the capability to provide continuous staffing solutions around the clock should particularly consider expanding their operations to meet such public sector demands.
