Notice Information

Notice Title

Independent Statutory Reviews for Looked After Children - CAT131

Notice Description

London Borough of Newham would like to invite tenders from individual providers to join a framework which will be used to commission reviews. The framework is limited to the provision of LAC reviews only. Independent providers are required to act like limited companies and must have the appropriate registrations, insurances and tax arrangements to ensure appropriate accountability. A detailed best value service review in 2015 concluded that a model of service delivery which utilises a number of externally commissioned providers offers a good quality, flexible service. As such, it is the local authority's intention to continue to procure external providers to deliver the statutory independent reviews to looked after children. To improve accountability and quality, the service specification has been revised and it is the aim of the local authority to commission LAC reviews from independent providers who meet a number of quality standards. This is the way the department will fulfil our statutory duty to independently scrutinise services to looked after children. This tendering exercise is being undertaken using the electronic tendering system "capitalESourcing" (url: www.capitalesourcing.com). Suppliers will need to register an interest on the system in order to participate, and registration is free.
