16 + year old Leaving Care & Vulnerable Young People Accommodation & Support Purchasing System

Description

The Council is looking to develop a Pseudo Dynamic Purchasing System (Pseudo DPS) for
the delivery of high quality placement arrangements for young people leaving care and
vulnerable young people.
We are seeking to ensure these young people can be placed with established, experienced
providers in the local area and, therefore, are looking to commission provision in the
Wakefield, Leeds, Barnsley and Kirklees Local Authority areas.
Applicants who meet and pass the Application criteria will be admitted to the Pseudo DPS.
Please note that this is not a competitive process and there is no limit to the number of
Applicants who can be appointed.
Please note, Applicants who are successfully admitted on to the PDPS are not guaranteed to
be awarded any financial provision for the duration of this arrangement.
The DPS will be for an initial period of 5 years with the option to extend for a further 5 years.
