    Brief

    Luton Council is commissioning Ofsted-registered Supported Accommodation Services for young people aged 16-17 years, and accommodation services for care leavers aged 18-25 years (Ofsted registration not required for 18-25 services). Supported accommodation provides quality housing with tailored support to help looked after children and care leavers live semi-independently, develop life skills, and prepare for adulthood in a safe, nurturing environment. This procurement is structured as a light touch open framework under the Procurement Act 2023, with separate lots for different age groups aligned to Ofsted regulatory categories. Key requirements: providers must be Ofsted registered for 16-17 year old services; have active accommodation ready to receive referrals immediately; be established and experienced providers; locate accommodation within 30 miles of Luton town hall; and demonstrate value for money. This is not a contract for domiciliary care or supported living for adults. A Meet the Buyer event will be held on 17 September 2026 at 11:00 via Microsoft Teams—email Caroline.sturman@luton.gov.uk for an invite.
