TITLE Social Media Management Platform Ref SMBC 26061 The Communications team began using a social media management tool in 2024 as part of broader changes to the way the team works. A social media management tool enables the council to: • Understand what audiences and topics involving the council are trending on social media platforms • Listen proactively to understand reputational issues and risks, and then go on to strategically plan content and campaigns to ensure the council’s communications function supports the delivery of the council’s strategic objectives and helps boost reputation to aid with recruitment of staff and improved customer experience • Utilise marketing reports and analytics functions that are not available on native platforms to understand engagement across all channels • Measure the impact of campaigns and test messaging to understand what resonates with citizens across each channel • Regularly analyse data to make informed strategic decisions and identify opportunities to drive revenue for the council In the long term, as a part of the council's customer journey planning, a social media management tool will allow for social media data to sit alongside other customer service channels to join up data and provide a holistic view of customer feedback and satisfaction levels. This will support the council’s corporate priorities linked to the Customer Journey programme.

Bradford Council would like to formally invite you to attend a consultation event about our new approach to the provision of emergency, nightly paid, accommodation across the Council. Emergency accommodation is used to provide temporary housing for single people, couples and families who require accommodation at short notice. While placements are typically short-term in nature, there will be occasions where accommodation is required for longer periods depending on individual circumstances and housing need. Through our Emergency Accommodation Framework, we are introducing a single, central accommodation framework through which all nightly paid, emergency accommodation provision will operate. This represents a significant change to the way accommodation services are commissioned and will have a direct impact on all current providers of emergency accommodation. Providers who wish to continue delivering emergency accommodation services to Bradford Council should engage with this process and register their interest ahead of the formal procurement launch. The event will: • Outline the proposed framework and operating model. • Explain what these changes mean for accommodation providers. • Provide an opportunity to ask questions and seek clarification. • Set out how providers can register their interest and participate in the forthcoming procurement process. We are also keen to engage with new providers to the market. If you operate a hotel, bed and breakfast (B&B), serviced apartment, guest house or other suitable accommodation, we encourage you to attend and find out more about the opportunity available. Event Details Date: Monday 9th November Time: 13:00pm – 14.30pm Location: Microsoft Teams For details on how to receive an invitation link to this meeting, please register your interest on the YORtender (eu-supply) portal by searching Market Engagement for an Emergency Accommodation Framework, reference 100114719.

The Greater Manchester Combined Authority Regional Care Cooperative (RCC) is developing a new, region wide approach to supported accommodation for children transitioning out of care aged 16 - 17 and care experienced young people. The RCC has been established to strengthen sufficiency, improve outcomes and develop a more ethical and purpose driven care market across the region. Ensuring young people leaving care have safe and supported environments as they prepare for adulthood. The supported accommodation market is comprised of a range of providers and commissioning arrangements, and service delivery approaches vary across localities. Engagement with young people and sector stakeholders, alongside data analysis and market insight, indicates that experiences of support and placement stability can be inconsistent and that young people often face challenges when moving into adulthood. The RCC has identified a benefit in a regionally coordinated approach that enables innovation in the sector to design a new supported accommodation and settling in model. This procurement forms part of the RCC's wider programme of work to support market sustainability and capacity, strengthen regional planning, and increase the availability of provision that meets current needs and outcomes for young people. The RCC intends to establish a multi provider open framework through a Competitive Flexible Procedure. The approach to commissioning and procurement designed thus far aims to ensure accessibility for all eligible providers. The framework comprises five complementary lots covering accommodation-based support, community-based move-on support, emotional health and wellbeing, life skills and opportunities, and complex safeguarding. Providers may submit a bid for one lot only and should therefore consider carefully which lot best aligns with their expertise, workforce, partnerships, delivery model and ability to meet the full requirements of that offer. Where more than one lot supports a young person, providers must work together through the Collaboration Agreement to deliver one coordinated pathway rather than separate services. 1) Lot 1: Building-Based Support £12.1 million Core 24-hour Building-Based Supported Accommodation Transitional Support and Step-Down Planning Provider Collaboration and Coordination 2) Lot 2: Moving On Support £1.975 million Floating Community-Based Support Long Term Interdependence - Sustaining Tenancies, Community Integration, Lasting Connections 3) Lot 3: Emotional Health and Wellbeing £1.975 million Emotional Support and Wellbeing Mental Health Support Relationship Support 4) Lot 4: Life Skills and Opportunities £1.975 million Financial and Digital Literacy Tenancy Readiness and Housing Meaningful Use of Time Rights, Entitlements and Navigation Employment and Training Employer and Provider Partnerships 5) Lot 5: Complex Safeguarding £1.975 million Re-offending/ Offending Child Criminal Exploitation (CCE) Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE) The Tender pack can be found on The Chest procurement portal
