Summary of the contracting process

Derby City Council is currently undertaking a Social Value and Market Engagement Consultation for the recruitment and assessment of foster carers. This process, falling under the planning stage, aims to engage qualified and experienced organisations to develop the Council's in-house fostering capabilities. The consultation period runs from Monday, 12 November to Wednesday, 21 November 2018, with a deadline for responses set for 12:00 noon on the final day. The initiative is rooted in the health and social work services industry, focusing on enhancing the support for children in care within a 20-mile radius of Derby. Interested parties can find more information in the provided documents.

This consultation represents a significant opportunity for businesses active in social care and fostering services, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations. These businesses can potentially contribute their expertise to help increase the local foster carer provision, thereby creating a sustainable impact on the lives of vulnerable children. Firms with experience in recruitment, training, and support services related to fostering will be particularly well-suited to engage with this council-led initiative and could position themselves as key partners in the forthcoming formal tendering process.
