Summary of the contracting process

Warwickshire County Council is currently seeking to establish a multi-provider framework for Expert Assessment Services, specifically targeting independent psychological, social work, and parenting assessments. This procurement is classified under social work and related services, with procurement initiated on the 20th of July 2017 and a tender period that ends on the 15th of March 2018. The framework will be accessible not only to Warwickshire but also to related councils such as Coventry CC and Solihull MBC. Interested parties must register on the CSW-JETS e-tendering platform to express interest and obtain tender documents.

Given the emphasis on comprehensive assessments that comply with legal standards, firms with experience in delivering high-quality, evidence-based assessments will benefit most. The framework also allows for non-exclusive participation, meaning that contracts will not be limited to a set number of providers, thereby fostering a competitive environment conducive to business expansion.
