Tender description
Active8 Support Services provide accommodation and support for homeless UASC 18 + who have been assessed as in need of continuing care under the Children's Act 1989. The accommodation and support packages are purchased as required and volumes will vary according to demand. Cabinet approved a further direct award for this provider to continue to deliver these services in July 2023. This was to ensure that statutory services are maintained pending the outcome of a procurement exercise. A tender for a multi provider framework to deliver these services launched on 24/8/2023 and will close on the 22/9/2023. The outcome of the tendering exercise is on the forward plan for approval by Cabinet at the November 2023 meeting. This exemption is to cover the interim period between July 2023 and the start date of the new framework which is planned to go live on the 1/1/2024.

About the buyer
Liverpool City Council procures as a local authority for the city of Liverpool, with its approach set out in a published Sustainable Procurement Strategy. Most tender opportunities are advertised on the Proactis ProContract portal, where suppliers register to bid. Higher-value contracts also appear on the Central Digital Platform's Find a Tender service under the Procurement Act 2023. Frameworks and approved procurement routes run through separate platforms alongside the main portal. Lower-value purchases are usually handled through a direct quotation rather than a full tender. Some health and social care commissioning instead follows the Provider Selection Regime.
UK local government drives £140bn in annual procurement, led by social protection (£66.6bn) and education (£57.1bn).
Over the past 5 years, most of Liverpool City Council's contract awards have been in construction work, architectural and engineering services and software and information systems.
