Notice Title

Ealing Child Performance Licensing IT System

Notice Description

Ealing Council is planning to re procure our current contract for Child Performance Licensing IT System and is carrying out market engagement with potential providers. The current Child Performance Licensing IT System contract expires on 31st March 2024. The approximate value for this contract is GBP 5000 to 8000 P.A. The proposed duration of the contract would be for up to five (5) years, with a potential two (2) year extension. Child Performance Licensing refers to the legal requirement for children under a certain age to obtain a license or permit to participate in certain types of performances, including theatre, television, film, entertainment, and certain types of non-professional performances. In England, child performances are regulated by the Children and Young Persons Act 1963, as amended by the Children (Performances and Activities) (England) Regulations 2014. A Body of Persons Approval (BOPAs) refers to the approval granted for group performances involving children and recognises that certain performances involve multiple children performing collectively, such as in a choir, dance group, or theatrical ensemble. The London Borough of Ealing has statutory duties and responsibilities regarding Child Performance Licensing, such as licensing of child performances, determining licensing requirements, assessing and granting licenses, monitoring compliance, issuing exemptions, collaboration and information sharing, granting Body of Persons Approval (BOPAs), provision of guidance and advice, record-keeping and reporting. The Council plays a crucial role in granting approvals for both types of performances, assessing their suitability, and ensuring the welfare and safeguarding of child performers. Child Performance Licensing and BOPAs are interconnected as they both exist within the broader framework of child performance regulations. Whilst individual performances typically require child performance licenses, group performances are covered under BOPAs. The purpose of the licensing is to ensure the protection, welfare, and well-being of child performers while they are engaged in professional entertainment activities. The current IT system effectively manages and streamlines the process of licensing child performers, ensuring compliance with applicable regulations, efficient data management, and seamless integration with existing administrative processes. The market research questionnaire is voluntary and will only be used for market research purposes. It does not from part of any tender or contract. Your response will be confidential, and providers are in no way obliged to complete it, or to answer every question within it. Please submit your response to this questionnaire by 5.00pm on 13th July 2023 via Microsoft Forms link https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=Q4w6AYeCi0yHixMeMM258yr18p-24EtEgTV6UR8rX4lUQTRVSlpJVFdLVlhZNERWT0hEQ1lBRDBQQy4u. Individual meetings are likely to be held with commissioners on the 19th/20th July.
