This procurement is set to operate within the West Midlands region and is scheduled to begin on 1st September 2019, concluding on 31st March 2023. The planned procurement budget is £813,000, with a minimum contract value of £525,000.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in advocacy and support services for children and young people.

Successful bidders would not only contribute to enhancing social welfare in the region but also expand their service portfolio and client base by engaging with local councils and potentially accessing further contracts in the public sector.
