These organisations come together through London Councils to work in collaboration to deliver their shared ambitions for London and Londoners.\nLondon Councils is working with London local authorities to design and deliver a much-needed secure children's home with step-down / transition accommodation in London ('Pan London SCH').  There is no service of this kind in the capital.\nThe proposed provision will provide residential care, education, health and wellbeing services within a safe and secure environment for highly vulnerable children with complex needs. It will also provide a home for children who no longer need to live within a secure environment but will need a period of extra care and support to help them achieve a positive transition back into the community.\nThe outline service model\nLondon local authorities will oversee and share the responsibilities of the Pan London SCH via a not-for-profit company that will be wholly owned by London local authorities, currently known as the Pan London Vehicle for Children's Complex Commissioning Ltd ('PLVCCC Ltd'). \nThe aim is for PLVCCC Ltd to commission a delivery partner (provider or group of providers) to run the provision on its behalf and in partnership with an NHS health provider.\nThe plan is to appoint the delivery partner well in advance of the completion of construction works so that they can play a lead role in service development, set up and implementation activities. The intention is for the provision to scale up in phases until it reaches the optimum / most economic occupancy level, taking into account likely demand at the time.\nThe main source of ongoing revenue for the Pan London SCH will come from placements made by individual local authorities and additional funding would support the setup, implementation and scale up period.\nPlease be aware that a location for the proposed SCH has been identified, however construction of the new provision has not yet commenced - the project is currently in the pre planning application stage.\nRead about the Pan London SCH project here: https://www.liia.london/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/About-the-Pan-London-SCH-project.pdf\nEngagement process \nPrior to the commencement of a potential procurement, we wish to engage with organisations who would be interested in delivering services for the Pan London SCH, and/or have experience of delivering similar services.\nThe aim of the engagement process is to:\n•\tInform the market of this potential procurement opportunity.\n•\tGain an understanding of the market's capacity and appetite to participate in a potential procurement process.\n•\tHelp us understand risks and issues not previously considered and gain insight into potential solutions. \n•\tWork collaboratively with providers to understand how services for the Pan London SCH could be best commissioned and provided.\n•\tInform the consideration of options for the future service model.\n•\tInform the next stage business case and procurement strategy.\n•\tDevelop an approach to commissioning services for the Pan London SCH that reflects the views of providers.\nPreliminary market engagement questionnaire \nYour views are important to us, and important to our next steps.\nAs part of the engagement process, London Councils has developed this questionnaire - the insights gathered will help shape the commissioning and procurement requirements, vision and approach ahead of more formal market engagement activities in the near future.\nThis questionnaire is not a call for competition and any future procurement process will be compliant with the Procurement Act 2023.  \nInformation submitted will be treated in confidence, will not be individually identified or revealed to third parties and will not prejudice any provider from participating in a future procurement.\nAny information marked as commercially sensitive will be treated as such. Please identify any information which should not be disclosed because of its sensitivity, providing reasons and the period for which the information will remain sensitive. \nPlease note, issuing this questionnaire and carrying out future market engagement does not commit London Councils, PLVCCC Ltd or London local authorities to commence any related procurement process.\nInterested parties are requested to complete and submit this questionnaire by Friday 6 June 2025.\nAny questions please contact newlondonsch@londoncouncils.gov.uk\nQuestionnaire can be located here: : https://forms.office.com/e/C7f7grLith\nInterested Economic Operators can view additional information at www.proactisplaza.com > register as supplier (if not already) > access London Councils > search for Preliminary Market Engagement, Secure Children's Home.\nAdditional CPVs which could be in scope are:\n85000000-9 - Health and social work services  \n85311000-2 - Social work services with accommodation \n85311300-5 - Welfare services for children and young people\n85300000-2 - Social work and related services\n85310000-5 - Social work services\n80000000-4 - Education and training services\n80210000-9 - Technical and vocational secondary education services \n80211000-6 - Technical secondary education services \n80212000-3 - Vocational secondary education services\n80340000-9 - Special education services\nThe relevant codes from the list in your email are highlighted in yellow below.  \n7512 1000 Admin Educational Services\n8000 0000 Education and Training Services\n8010 0000 Primary Education Services\n8020 0000 Secondary Education Services\n8030 0000 Higher Education Services\n8031 0000 Youth Education Services\n7512 2000 Admin Health and Care Services\n8510 0000 Health Services",

This has been appreciated, and we now wish to alert the market of the continuance of the Market Engagement until August.\nThe questionnaire therefore is now open until Friday 1 August 2025 in order to continue collecting responses. If you have already responded, we will respond to you in due course.\nNote about the dates published in this notice:\nThe dates published in this notice are best estimates.  The timeline for any future procurement process is dependent on the outcome of this preliminary market engagement exercise, the outcome of the planning permission process and conclusion of relevant local authority governance processes.  \nFor further information / broader project updates:\nWebsite: https://www.liia.london/londons-secure-childrens-home-and-plv/ \nEmail: newlondonsch@londoncouncils.gov.uk\nLondon Councils is the collective of London local government, the 32 boroughs and the City of London Corporation (together, the 'London local authorities'). These organisations come together through London Councils to work in collaboration to deliver their shared ambitions for London and Londoners.\nLondon Councils is working with London local authorities to design and deliver a much-needed secure children's home with step-down / transition accommodation in London ('Pan London SCH').  There is no service of this kind in the capital.\nThe proposed provision will provide residential care, education, health and wellbeing services within a safe and secure environment for highly vulnerable children with complex needs. It will also provide a home for children who no longer need to live within a secure environment but will need a period of extra care and support to help them achieve a positive transition back into the community.\nThe outline service model\nLondon local authorities will oversee and share the responsibilities of the Pan London SCH via a not-for-profit company that will be wholly owned by London local authorities, currently known as the Pan London Vehicle for Children's Complex Commissioning Ltd ('PLVCCC Ltd').\nThe aim is for PLVCCC Ltd to commission a delivery partner (provider or group of providers) to run the provision on its behalf and in partnership with an NHS health provider.\nThe plan is to appoint the delivery partner well in advance of the completion of construction works so that they can play a lead role in service development, set up and implementation activities. The intention is for the provision to scale up in phases until it reaches the optimum / most economic occupancy level, taking into account likely demand at the time.\nThe main source of ongoing revenue for the Pan London SCH will come from placements made by individual local authorities and additional funding would support the setup, implementation and scale up period.\nPlease be aware that a location for the proposed SCH has been identified, however construction of the new provision has not yet commenced - the project is currently in the pre planning application stage.\nRead about the Pan London SCH project here: https://www.liia.london/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/About-the-Pan-London-SCH-project.pdf\nEngagement process\nPrior to the commencement of a potential procurement, we wish to engage with organisations who would be interested in delivering services for the Pan London SCH, and/or have experience of delivering similar services.\nThe aim of the engagement process is to:\n•\tInform the market of this potential procurement opportunity.\n•\tGain an understanding of the market's capacity and appetite to participate in a potential procurement process.\n•\tHelp us understand risks and issues not previously considered and gain insight into potential solutions.\n•\tWork collaboratively with providers to understand how services for the Pan London SCH could be best commissioned and provided.\n•\tInform the consideration of options for the future service model.\n•\tInform the next stage business case and procurement strategy.\n•\tDevelop an approach to commissioning services for the Pan London SCH that reflects the views of providers.\nPreliminary market engagement questionnaire\nYour views are important to us, and important to our next steps.\nAs part of the engagement process, London Councils has developed this questionnaire - the insights gathered will help shape the commissioning and procurement requirements, vision and approach ahead of more formal market engagement activities in the near future.\nThis questionnaire is not a call for competition and any future procurement process will be compliant with the Procurement Act 2023.\nInformation submitted will be treated in confidence, will not be individually identified or revealed to third parties and will not prejudice any provider from participating in a future procurement.\nAny information marked as commercially sensitive will be treated as such. Please identify any information which should not be disclosed because of its sensitivity, providing reasons and the period for which the information will remain sensitive.\nPlease note, issuing this questionnaire and carrying out future market engagement does not commit London Councils, PLVCCC Ltd or London local authorities to commence any related procurement process.\nInterested parties are requested to complete and submit this questionnaire by Friday 6 June 2025.\nAny questions please contact newlondonsch@londoncouncils.gov.uk\nQuestionnaire can be located here: : https://forms.office.com/e/C7f7grLith\nInterested Economic Operators can view additional information at www.proactisplaza.com > register as supplier (if not already) > access London Councils > search for Preliminary Market Engagement, Secure Children's Home.\nAdditional CPVs which could be in scope are:\n85000000-9 - Health and social work services\n85311000-2 - Social work services with accommodation\n85311300-5 - Welfare services for children and young people\n85300000-2 - Social work and related services\n85310000-5 - Social work services\n80000000-4 - Education and training services\n80210000-9 - Technical and vocational secondary education services\n80211000-6 - Technical secondary education services\n80212000-3 - Vocational secondary education services\n80340000-9 - Special education services\nThe relevant codes from the list in your email are highlighted in yellow below.\n7512 1000 Admin Educational Services\n8000 0000 Education and Training Services\n8010 0000 Primary Education Services\n8020 0000 Secondary Education Services\n8030 0000 Higher Education Services\n8031 0000 Youth Education Services\n7512 2000 Admin Health and Care Services\n8510 0000 Health Services",

Also, thanks to those that have responded to our previous (two) preliminary market engagement notices and questionnaire regarding the management and operation of the proposed new service.\nWe are pleased to invite you to one of our upcoming online preliminary market engagement events in preparation for this potential procurement opportunity.\nEvent Purpose\nThe session will include further information about the project, insights from professionals with experience of leading secure children's home provision and an overview of our architectural design proposals.  There will also be an opportunity for Q & A.\nEvent Details and Registration\nYou are invited to attend on one of the following dates (you do not need to attend both sessions).\n•\tWednesday 8th October 2025, 14:30 - 16:30  \nOr \n•\tFriday 10th October 2025, 13:30-15:30\nThe events will take place online via Microsoft Teams. Once you have registered, you will promptly receive an invitation with a link to join the session.\nPlease book your place here. https://www.tickettailor.com/events/londonimprovementandinnovativealliance/1848654\n The deadline to register is 5pm Monday 6 October 2025.\nWe look forward to meeting you at one of these sessions and we would welcome the opportunity to engage in 1:1 discussions with you following these initial events.\nShould you need any assistance or have any questions please get in touch.\nBest regards,\nLondon secure children's home programme team\nLondon Innovation and Improvement Alliance \nLondon Councils\nEmail: newlondonsch@londoncouncils.gov.uk \nWebsite: https://www.liia.london/londons-secure-childrens-home-and-plv/\nNote about the dates published in this notice:\nThe dates published in this notice are best estimates.  The timeline for any future procurement process is dependent on the outcome of this preliminary market engagement exercise, the outcome of the planning permission process and conclusion of relevant local authority governance processes.\nFor further information / broader project updates:\nWebsite: https://www.liia.london/londons-secure-childrens-home-and-plv/\nEmail: newlondonsch@londoncouncils.gov.uk\nLondon Councils is the collective of London local government, the 32 boroughs and the City of London Corporation (together, the 'London local authorities'). These organisations come together through London Councils to work in collaboration to deliver their shared ambitions for London and Londoners.\nLondon Councils is working with London local authorities to design and deliver a much-needed secure children's home with step-down / transition accommodation in London ('Pan London SCH').  There is no service of this kind in the capital.\nThe proposed provision will provide residential care, education, health and wellbeing services within a safe and secure environment for highly vulnerable children with complex needs. It will also provide a home for children who no longer need to live within a secure environment but will need a period of extra care and support to help them achieve a positive transition back into the community.\nThe outline service model\nLondon local authorities will oversee and share the responsibilities of the Pan London SCH via a not-for-profit company that will be wholly owned by London local authorities, currently known as the Pan London Vehicle for Children's Complex Commissioning Ltd ('PLVCCC Ltd').\nThe aim is for PLVCCC Ltd to commission a delivery partner (provider or group of providers) to run the provision on its behalf and in partnership with an NHS health provider.\nThe plan is to appoint the delivery partner well in advance of the completion of construction works so that they can play a lead role in service development, set up and implementation activities. The intention is for the provision to scale up in phases until it reaches the optimum / most economic occupancy level, taking into account likely demand at the time.\nThe main source of ongoing revenue for the Pan London SCH will come from placements made by individual local authorities and additional funding would support the setup, implementation and scale up period.\nPlease be aware that a location for the proposed SCH has been identified, however construction of the new provision has not yet commenced - the project is currently in the pre planning application stage.\nRead about the Pan London SCH project here: https://www.liia.london/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/About-the-Pan-London-SCH-project.pdf\nEngagement process\nPrior to the commencement of a potential procurement, we wish to engage with organisations who would be interested in delivering services for the Pan London SCH, and/or have experience of delivering similar services.\nThe aim of the engagement process is to:\n•\tInform the market of this potential procurement opportunity.\n•\tGain an understanding of the market's capacity and appetite to participate in a potential procurement process.\n•\tHelp us understand risks and issues not previously considered and gain insight into potential solutions.\n•\tWork collaboratively with providers to understand how services for the Pan London SCH could be best commissioned and provided.\n•\tInform the consideration of options for the future service model.\n•\tInform the next stage business case and procurement strategy.\n•\tDevelop an approach to commissioning services for the Pan London SCH that reflects the views of providers.\nPreliminary market engagement questionnaire\nYour views are important to us, and important to our next steps.\nAs part of the engagement process, London Councils has developed this questionnaire - the insights gathered will help shape the commissioning and procurement requirements, vision and approach ahead of more formal market engagement activities in the near future.\nThis questionnaire is not a call for competition and any future procurement process will be compliant with the Procurement Act 2023.\nInformation submitted will be treated in confidence, will not be individually identified or revealed to third parties and will not prejudice any provider from participating in a future procurement.\nAny information marked as commercially sensitive will be treated as such. Please identify any information which should not be disclosed because of its sensitivity, providing reasons and the period for which the information will remain sensitive.\nPlease note, issuing this questionnaire and carrying out future market engagement does not commit London Councils, PLVCCC Ltd or London local authorities to commence any related procurement process.\nInterested parties are requested to complete and submit this questionnaire by Friday 6 June 2025.\nAny questions please contact newlondonsch@londoncouncils.gov.uk\nQuestionnaire can be located here: : https://forms.office.com/e/C7f7grLith\nInterested Economic Operators can view additional information at www.proactisplaza.com > register as supplier (if not already) > access London Councils > search for Preliminary Market Engagement, Secure Children's Home.\nAdditional CPVs which could be in scope are:\n7512 1000 Admin Educational Services\n8000 0000 Education and Training Services\n8010 0000 Primary Education Services\n8020 0000 Secondary Education Services\n8030 0000 Higher Education Services\n8031 0000 Youth Education Services\n7512 2000 Admin Health and Care Services\n8510 0000 Health Services",

There will also be an opportunity for Q & A.\nEvent Details and Registration\nYou are invited to attend on one of the following dates (you do not need to attend both sessions).\n•\tWednesday 8th October 2025, 14:30 - 16:30  \nOr \n•\tFriday 10th October 2025, 13:30-15:30\nThe events will take place online via Microsoft Teams. Once you have registered, you will promptly receive an invitation with a link to join the session.\nPlease book your place here. https://www.tickettailor.com/events/londonimprovementandinnovativealliance/1848654\n The deadline to register is 5pm Monday 6 October 2025.\nWe look forward to meeting you at one of these sessions and we would welcome the opportunity to engage in 1:1 discussions with you following these initial events.\nShould you need any assistance or have any questions please get in touch.\nBest regards,\nLondon secure children's home programme team\nLondon Innovation and Improvement Alliance \nLondon Councils\nEmail: newlondonsch@londoncouncils.gov.uk \nWebsite: https://www.liia.london/londons-secure-childrens-home-and-plv/\nNote about the dates published in this notice:\nThe dates published in this notice are best estimates.  The timeline for any future procurement process is dependent on the outcome of this preliminary market engagement exercise, the outcome of the planning permission process and conclusion of relevant local authority governance processes.\nFor further information / broader project updates:\nWebsite: https://www.liia.london/londons-secure-childrens-home-and-plv/\nEmail: newlondonsch@londoncouncils.gov.uk\nLondon Councils is the collective of London local government, the 32 boroughs and the City of London Corporation (together, the 'London local authorities'). These organisations come together through London Councils to work in collaboration to deliver their shared ambitions for London and Londoners.\nLondon Councils is working with London local authorities to design and deliver a much-needed secure children's home with step-down / transition accommodation in London ('Pan London SCH').  There is no service of this kind in the capital.\nThe proposed provision will provide residential care, education, health and wellbeing services within a safe and secure environment for highly vulnerable children with complex needs. It will also provide a home for children who no longer need to live within a secure environment but will need a period of extra care and support to help them achieve a positive transition back into the community.\nThe outline service model\nLondon local authorities will oversee and share the responsibilities of the Pan London SCH via a not-for-profit company that will be wholly owned by London local authorities, currently known as the Pan London Vehicle for Children's Complex Commissioning Ltd ('PLVCCC Ltd').\nThe aim is for PLVCCC Ltd to commission a delivery partner (provider or group of providers) to run the provision on its behalf and in partnership with an NHS health provider.\nThe plan is to appoint the delivery partner well in advance of the completion of construction works so that they can play a lead role in service development, set up and implementation activities. The intention is for the provision to scale up in phases until it reaches the optimum / most economic occupancy level, taking into account likely demand at the time.\nThe main source of ongoing revenue for the Pan London SCH will come from placements made by individual local authorities and additional funding would support the setup, implementation and scale up period.\nPlease be aware that a location for the proposed SCH has been identified, however construction of the new provision has not yet commenced - the project is currently in the pre planning application stage.\nRead about the Pan London SCH project here: https://www.liia.london/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/About-the-Pan-London-SCH-project.pdf\nEngagement process\nPrior to the commencement of a potential procurement, we wish to engage with organisations who would be interested in delivering services for the Pan London SCH, and/or have experience of delivering similar services.\nThe aim of the engagement process is to:\n•\tInform the market of this potential procurement opportunity.\n•\tGain an understanding of the market's capacity and appetite to participate in a potential procurement process.\n•\tHelp us understand risks and issues not previously considered and gain insight into potential solutions.\n•\tWork collaboratively with providers to understand how services for the Pan London SCH could be best commissioned and provided.\n•\tInform the consideration of options for the future service model.\n•\tInform the next stage business case and procurement strategy.\n•\tDevelop an approach to commissioning services for the Pan London SCH that reflects the views of providers.\nPreliminary market engagement questionnaire\nYour views are important to us, and important to our next steps.\nAs part of the engagement process, London Councils has developed this questionnaire - the insights gathered will help shape the commissioning and procurement requirements, vision and approach ahead of more formal market engagement activities in the near future.\nThis questionnaire is not a call for competition and any future procurement process will be compliant with the Procurement Act 2023.\nInformation submitted will be treated in confidence, will not be individually identified or revealed to third parties and will not prejudice any provider from participating in a future procurement.\nAny information marked as commercially sensitive will be treated as such. Please identify any information which should not be disclosed because of its sensitivity, providing reasons and the period for which the information will remain sensitive.\nPlease note, issuing this questionnaire and carrying out future market engagement does not commit London Councils, PLVCCC Ltd or London local authorities to commence any related procurement process.\nInterested parties are requested to complete and submit this questionnaire by Friday 6 June 2025.\nAny questions please contact newlondonsch@londoncouncils.gov.uk\nQuestionnaire can be located here: : https://forms.office.com/e/C7f7grLith\nInterested Economic Operators can view additional information at www.proactisplaza.com > register as supplier (if not already) > access London Councils > search for Preliminary Market Engagement, Secure Children's Home.\nAdditional CPVs which could be in scope are:\n7512 1000 Admin Educational Services\n8000 0000 Education and Training Services\n8010 0000 Primary Education Services\n8020 0000 Secondary Education Services\n8030 0000 Higher Education Services\n8031 0000 Youth Education Services\n7512 2000 Admin Health and Care Services\n8510 0000 Health Services",
