Businesses with experience in data analysis, report generation, and data collection at local, regional, and national levels would be well-suited to compete. The procurement method is a tender, and interested parties can participate in a Market Engagement session scheduled for 28th June 2023. For more information or to participate, businesses can contact Emilie Wilkinson at emilie.wilkinson@education.gov.uk.

## Notice

The Independent Review of Children's Social Care suggested improving consistency of kinship care data and concluded that the current data landscape hindered policymaking and provided only a partial understanding of those cohorts. We are looking to produce a new one off, national kinship care data set, derived from all local authorities across the country. Local authorities should already hold the data we are wanting to collect, however in rare cases some of the data will have to be first collected at local level. The national collection will be focused on data about the kinship carer cohort. For example, we would like the data collection to include: - Size of the kinship carer cohort, including special guardians and family and friend foster carers - Size of the children in kinship care cohort - Characteristics of children in kinship care - Characteristics of kinship carers We would like the data to be analysed at local, regional and national level, and to be delivered in a report format. There will be a Market Engagement session on 28th June 2023 at 2-3pm. Please email emilie.wilkinson@education.gov.uk to be added to the invite for this session.
