Description
Warrington Borough Council is establishing a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for the provision of various support services for children, young people, and care leavers.

The flexible structure allows providers to join at any time during the agreement's lifetime.

The procurement is divided into the following lots:

Lot 1 – Outreach Support (Standard Needs)

Accommodation and support for care leavers aged 16-17 transitioning to independence. Properties provide individual living areas, 24-hour onsite support, and tailored assistance to develop life skills, promote independence, and reduce the risk of homelessness.

Accommodation for care-experienced young adults and asylum-seeking young people aged 18+ requiring short to medium-term housing. The service provides support while individuals await permanent housing or immigration decisions.
