Residential Accommodation for 16 and 17 Year Olds and Emergency Placements - Expression of Interest

Thurrock Council is seeking to understand the market place for two types of Ofsted regulated registered residential children's homes:

A. To exclusively place vulnerable young people aged 16 and 17 on admission, who are not yet ready to live in unregulated supported accommodation B. For emergency placements for young people aged 12-15 on admission

In addition:

C. Providers who have empty Ofsted regulated residential children's homes, but that are still registered with Ofsted

Homes with a maximum of 4 young people are required. Smaller units are preferred.

At this stage there is no guarantee of business from the Council with this simply being a market test.

Additional information: Please note this is an expression of Interest only with no guarantee of a contract with the Council. The Council is requesting interested parties to complete and return the interest declaration form (appendix 1)
