## Summary

Sheffield City Council is initiating a pre-Market Engagement event titled "Observational (Supervised) Contact for Sheffield Children in Care" as part of its planning stage for this tender. The council seeks to engage potential suppliers in providing Observational Contact services for looked after children. The engagement end date is set for 23rd June 2018, and the relevant industry category includes recreational, cultural, and sporting services, specifically focusing on youth education and welfare services for children. This tender will take place in Sheffield, Yorkshire and the Humber region.

This opportunity is well-suited for organisations involved in child welfare, education services, or recreational activities targeting young people. Businesses offering supervised contact services or those with experience in facilitating interactions between children and their families will find this event particularly advantageous for establishing connections with the council. Attending the market engagement event will allow potential contractors to contribute their insights and better understand the tender requirements, ultimately fostering business growth in the public sector.

## Notice

You are invited to join us for a pre-Market Engagement event at Sheffield City Council! We are encouraging organisations to attend this event who are interested in potentially supplying Observational Contact services for the Council, which you may also know as Supervised Contact as we prepare to launch the tender. The contract will involve the facilitation of Observational Contact between Looked After Children (whether or not subject of Residence Orders) and/or Children and Young People who are the subject of care proceedings but not on Orders with their birth families and/or significant others in their lives. This event will give us the chance to discuss our proposals for the replacement framework with you, and for you to ask the Council any questions you may have regarding the provision. Your contribution and feedback is very valuable to us. To secure your place, please register your details via the link on this page. See you there!
