Summary of the contracting process

The Dorset Council has completed the procurement process for the provision of Children's Residential Care, classified under health and social work services. This contract spans a seven-year term with a total value of £42,000,000, overseeing the care of children and young people who are unable to live at home. The tender period ended on 8 April 2022, with an award period commencing on 11 April 2022. The procurement method was an open procedure, allowing for broad participation from suppliers in the UKK2 region, specifically Dorchester.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in residential care services. Suppliers offering high-quality care, therapeutic support, and housing services for children will find themselves well-placed to compete for contracts under this framework. The open framework nature also means that businesses not currently on the framework will have opportunities to submit tenders in future advertising periods. Therefore, both established firms and emerging service providers focused on children's welfare and residential care can benefit from this initiative.
