Summary of the contracting process

The Bath and North East Somerset Council is currently leading a tender process for a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) aimed at the placement of children and young people in foster care. This procurement, classified under health and social work services, encompasses multiple categories including standard foster care placements, parent and child placements, and provisions for unaccompanied asylum seekers. The DPS has been extended until 31st March 2022, with the latest application window open until 25th June 2021. This open procedure allows for transparent bids from potential suppliers within the South West region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses operating in the social care sector, particularly for those offering specialised foster care services.

Participating in this procurement process could help such organisations expand their service offerings and enhance their reputation within the community.
