2026-11-03

West Sussex County Council is utilising a Competitive Flexible Procedure procurement under the Procurement Act 2023 to award multiple contracts (Light Touch) to successful Suppliers to deliver Contracts for countywide Supported Accommodation and Housing Pathway services for young people aged 16-25. The Service will provide safe accommodation and tailored support for young people in care, leaving care, or at risk of homelessness, helping them build independence, stability and positive life outcomes. Provision includes 24/7 fully staffed supported accommodation in key towns and flexible Transitional Housing across West Sussex. The current contract provision expires on the 30th of September 2026. The services have been redesigned to best suit the needs of West Sussex young people. The commissioning of these services is a collaboration between WSCC and the District and Boroughs. In order to provide these services, the supplier is required to be registered as a Social Landlord and, in addition to that, where the service is provided to young people under 18 years of age, OFSTED registration will be mandatory. Contracts will run for five years with options to extend up to a total Contract length of 9 years.
