Tender description

Thurrock Council is undertaking early market engagement to understand provider interest in a future supported accommodation pathway for young people aged 16 to 25. This may include children looked after aged 16 and 17, care leavers, former unaccompanied asylum-seeking children and young people at risk of homelessness where statutory duties apply. The Council is exploring a wider range of accommodation and support options, including supported lodgings, staffed shared accommodation, independent living and floating support. This is not a call for competition and does not commit the Council to any future procurement or contract award.

About the buyer

Thurrock Council buys as a local authority, with a dedicated procurement team managing purchasing and supplier relationships. Suppliers trade through the Oracle Fusion Supplier Portal, used for purchase orders, invoices and profile management. Larger contracts go to formal competitive tender, advertised through the government's Find a Tender service. Contracts Finder lists smaller opportunities for suppliers to browse or set alerts against. The council keeps no approved supplier lists, opening most work to open competition. Thurrock Council is also a member of the Procurement Agency for Essex, sharing opportunities with councils across the county.

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 Thurrock Council's contract awards have been in health and social work, construction work and business services.
