The accommodation is for the sole use of the child or for the child and other individuals living with the child (For example; partner, sibling or children) as agreed by the Council.
· Category 2 - Supported accommodation in a shared or group living situation (Ring fenced for looked after children and care leavers only)
The accommodation is for looked after children and care leavers only. There may be care leavers over the age of 18 living at the accommodation. Each child will have their own bedroom but will share communal areas (For example: kitchen, or a living area.)
· Category 3 - Supported accommodation in a shared or group living situation (Not limited to looked after children and care leavers)
The supported accommodation in a shared or group living situation in premises which are not limited to accommodating looked after children and care leavers. Each child will have their own bedroom but will share communal areas (For example: kitchen, or a living area.)

VI.4) Procedures for review
VI.4.1) Review body
High Court of England & Wales
London
UK
VI.4.3) Review procedure
Precise information on deadline(s) for review procedures:
In accordance with Regulation 86 (Notices of decisions to award a contract or conclude a framework),Regulation 87 (Standstill periods) and Chapter 6 (Applications to Court) of the
Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (SI 2015/102), the contracting authority incorporated a minimum ten (10) calendar day standstill period at the point
that information on the award of the Contract was communicated to economic operators. This period allowed any unsuccessful economic operator(s) to seek further debriefing from the contracting authority before the award of the Contract to the successful economic operators. Such additional
information should be requested from the address at Sections I.1 and I.3 of this Notice above. If an appeal regarding the award of the Contract has not been successfully resolved,
then the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (SI 2015/102) provide for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by a breach of the rules to take action in the High
Court (England, Wales and Northern Ireland). Any such action must be started within thirty (30) days beginning with the date when the aggrieved party first knew or sought to have
grounds for starting the proceedings had arisen. The Court may extend the time limited for starting proceedings where the Court considers that there is a good reason for doing so, but
not so as to permit proceedings to be started more than three (3) months after that date.
Where the Contract has not been awarded, the Court may order the setting aside of the award decision or order the contracting authority to amend any document and may award
damages. If however the Contract has been awarded, the Court may only award damages or, where the contract award procedures have not been followed correctly, declare the Contract to be ineffective.
