Brighton and Hove City Council is looking for organisations to join an Accredited Provider List (APL) to deliver supported accommodation and related support services for young people aged 16 to 24. This is a framework agreement running from 2025 to 2031, meaning successful providers will be on an approved list that the council can call on to deliver services — you won't automatically get work, but you'll be eligible to bid for individual contracts.
Requirements
- Must be able to provide supported accommodation specifically for young people aged 16 to 24
- Must be willing to work within the council's framework agreement terms from 2025 to 2031
- Must meet the council's quality and accreditation standards for the APL
- No specific requirements listed in the notice — check the full tender documents for qualifications, insurance, safeguarding, and compliance requirements
Key Tasks & Deliverables
- Provide supported accommodation (housing with support services) for young people aged 16 to 24
- Deliver related support services alongside accommodation (exact services to be detailed in full tender documents)
- Comply with council monitoring, reporting, and quality standards throughout the contract period
How to Read This Tender
- 1This is a framework or panel arrangement, not a single service contract — getting on the APL means you're pre-approved to bid for future work, but doesn't guarantee any funding. You need to understand whether you're bidding to be the sole provider or one of several on the list.
- 2The closing date of 30th April 2025 is firm — applications submitted after that won't be looked at until later, so don't miss it. Factor in time to prepare your submission.
- 3Look carefully in the full tender documents for: the council's quality standards, insurance and safeguarding requirements, expected pricing/rates, performance metrics, and what 'related services' means in practice.
- 4This is a long-term commitment (6 years) — check whether you can sustain service delivery at the rates the council expects and whether the contract requires you to maintain capacity even if you're not currently delivering work.
- 5Watch for any requirement to work with other providers or sign up to council frameworks (like Modern Slavery statements or Environmental policies) — these are common additions for UK public sector contracts.
Tips for Small Businesses
- If you're small and worried about capacity, explore whether the council allows consortiums or partnerships — you could team up with another provider to meet their needs while sharing the workload and risk.
- Supported accommodation often has a 'social value' element — the council may score bids on factors like local employment, training, or community benefit, not just price. Emphasise any added value (e.g. job training for residents, local recruitment) in your bid.
- Get the full tender documents early and understand the council's expected service model, staffing ratios, accommodation standards, and how they'll measure success — this will help you cost realistically and avoid bidding at a loss.
