Summary of the contracting process

The Falkirk Council is seeking suppliers for the "Provision of Fostering and Continuing Care Service" within the social work and related services industry. This procurement is currently in the Award stage, following an open procedure, and was initially posted on 3rd February 2021. The total value of the framework agreement is £7,000,000, with contracts expected to be active for two years, potentially extendable by an additional two years. Suppliers should deliver services within a 25-mile radius of Falkirk Council HQ, with the deadline for submission being on 8th March 2021.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, especially those in the social care sector, including fostering agencies and organisations that provide welfare services for children and young people.
