Summary of the contracting process

Birmingham City Council is seeking tenders for the "C0231 - Foster Care Framework" aimed at providing foster care services through independent fostering agencies. This procurement falls under the welfare services for children and young people category and will be active in the West Midlands, commencing on 4th April 2016, with an initial contract period of two years and an option for a two-year extension. The tender process is currently in the planning stage, with a submission deadline of 11th November 2015.

This framework represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in child welfare services, particularly those with experience in foster care. Given the anticipated demand for approximately 1,700 new placements annually and a projected spend of £110 million per year, independent agencies equipped to offer high-quality foster care services are encouraged to participate. This procurement avenue may also suit larger organisations capable of meeting the diverse needs of multiple local authorities calling off from the framework.
