Notice Description

The South London Commissioning Programme (SLCP) established a multi-provider agreement known as Approved Provider Panel Agreement (APPA) in June 2020 for the delivery of residential and IFA services for children and young people aged 0 - 18years.

The services under the APPA have been categorised into Lot 1: Residential Child Care Provision [Sub-Lots: Standard and Specialist] and Lot 2: Independent Fostering Agency Provision [Sub-Lots: Standard, Specialist and Emergency]. Applicants have the option to bid for services in Lot 1, Lot 2 or both. The tender opportunity is open to Providers in England: rated 'Good or 'Outstanding' by Ofsted, Providers in Scotland: rated "good", "very good" or "outstanding" by the Scottish Care Inspectorate, Providers in Wales: registered with the Wales Care Inspectorate and Providers in Northern Ireland registered with the Northern Ireland Regulation and Quality Improvement Authority (NIRQIA). The APPA will be accessed initially by the London Boroughs of Croydon and Lambeth. In time, the APPA may be accessed by the London Boroughs of Bromley, Richmond, Wandsworth and Kingston.
