Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, titled "IFA -Non Framework - Standard (Placement) June 2024," was conducted by Bedford Borough Council, focusing on health and social work services. This tender entails a contract for providing foster care services through external agencies due to the lack of suitable in-house carers. The procurement stage is complete, with the award notice published on 9th October 2024. The contract, valued at £46,800, will run from 20th June 2024 to 20th June 2026. The project location is specified as Bedford, MK42 9AP.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses within the health and social work sector, particularly those involved in foster care services. It is suitable for both small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). The procurement was conducted through a waiver method, indicating a non-standard procurement process, which may benefit businesses looking to engage in specialised contracts. Eastern Fostering Services Ltd, a large-scale business, has been awarded this contract, suggesting that experienced and well-established foster care providers could successfully compete in similar future tenders.
