Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Thurrock Council is currently engaged in a public procurement process titled "External Placements for Looked After Children - Re-Opening," which falls under the social work services industry category. This tender aims to establish a Select List of Providers to ensure high-quality care for children and young people. The procurement method is an open procedure, with the submission period ending on 30 April 2021, after which bids will be evaluated, leading to contract awards starting from the same date. The estimated value of the contracts is £60 million over the entire Select List period, with services offered in the UKH32 region.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in social work services, particularly those offering supported accommodation and care for looked-after children. Companies experienced in providing residential care, independent fostering, and family assessment services will find a competitive edge in this process. As the Council values quality significantly in their criteria, businesses with a proven track record in delivering high standards of care are particularly well-suited to participate and expand their operations under these contracts.
