This initiative aims to provide up to 36 concurrent planning placements per year for children under the age of four across the North West of England, specifically from 1st July 2022 to 30th June 2024. The tender period will close on 4th May 2022, and the overall contract value is estimated at £2,027,520. This service will be delivered through a single provider framework arrangement involving four Regional Adoption Agencies: Adoption Now, Adoption Counts, Together for Adoption, and Adoption in Merseyside, ensuring placements are made at a safe distance while facilitating necessary contact arrangements.

This tender presents excellent opportunities for businesses specialising in social work and related services, particularly those with experience in adoption frameworks and child welfare. Companies that can provide placement services in compliance with regional safety requirements and are capable of managing multiple local authorities' needs will be well-positioned to compete. The contract's duration and value indicate a significant commitment from the council, making this an attractive bid for organisations looking to expand their footprint in public sector contracts within the child services industry.
