Notice Description
Essex County Council ("the Council") conducted a procurement to secure a range of effective, reliable and efficient independent fostering agencies to deliver external fostering placements to enable the Council to fulfil its statutory duties as a corporate parent under section 22 of the Children's Act 1989.
