Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Devon County Council is currently engaged in a procurement process titled "CP1386-16 Open Framework for Adoption Support Services" within the social services sector, specifically focusing on guidance and counselling services. This procurement, initiated on 1st March 2019, is at the award stage, following a two-stage tendering process that includes setting up an open framework for ongoing recruitment of suppliers. The contract period was active from 9th July 2018 to 8th July 2022, with suppliers being able to apply for inclusion at any point during this time. The framework is based in the South West region of the United Kingdom, and the overall budget is valued at approximately £4,760,000 GBP.

This open framework offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in adoption support services, particularly those that provide therapeutic support. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well-placed to participate, as the process encourages diverse suppliers to address specific service contracts through mini-competitions. As suppliers gain admission to the framework, they can actively compete for various contracts until the framework closes, potentially enhancing their market presence and service offerings within this crucial sector.
