Notice Title

Adoption Register Build

Notice Description

We are proposing to contract for the build of a matching service to carry out the functions of the Adoption Register. The DfE's aim is to deliver an Adoption Register that focuses on user needs in line with the GDS Technology Code of Practice. When an adoption agency is considering placing a child for adoption, they look for a suitable match, which is often found locally. For some children, they need to look further afield using tools such as the Adoption Register. The Adoption Register is an online database of unmatched children and prospective adopters. It is used by both social workers and prospective approved adopters to seek matches and operates on a statutory basis under section 125 of the Adoption and Children Act 2002. Additional information: A supplier event will be held on 18 June 2018 at The Abbey Community Centre, 34 Great Smith Street, Westminster, London, SW1P 3BU from 10.00 to 12.00. To book your place to attend, please contact raa.mailbox@education.gov.uk (please use this only for supplier event bookings). Please note that the DfE will be utilising its e-Tendering portal and interest organisations will need to register on this in the first instance before being able to express an interest, access the document and submit a response to this open procurement Registration and future access to the portal can be made by following this url: https://education.bravosolution.co.uk
