Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process, led by Leicestershire County Council, pertains to the tender titled "Leicestershire's Children and Families Services Gateway2Resources (G2R) - Residential & Fostering Placements". This initiative falls within the health and social work services industry and aims to establish a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for providing residential and fostering placements for looked after children in Leicestershire. The tender period concluded on 18 November 2019, and the subsequent contract runs from 1 February 2020 to 31 January 2030. The procurement was conducted via an open procedure, with a total contract value of £491 million, and is located in Leicester, England.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth within the social care sector, specifically for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community social enterprises (VCSEs). Providers that specialise in fostering and residential care, particularly those committed to delivering high-quality, locally-based services, would be well-positioned to compete for participation in the DPS. The collaborative approach envisioned by the council suggests a strong demand for innovative and adaptable service providers, making this an attractive opportunity for businesses looking to expand their offerings in the sector.
