## Summary

The Cambridgeshire County Council is initiating a tender for an Inter-country Adoption service, with the project currently in the planning stage. This opportunity is classified under health and social work services and is aimed at potential providers in the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom. The contract is expected to commence on 1st April 2016 and will last for three years, with the possibility of extending for an additional two years. Interested parties were invited to submit expressions of interest by the 14th December 2015, with an estimated annual contract value of approximately £3,100, escalating to a total of £15,500 over the full term, including interviews.

This procurement presents significant growth opportunities for organisations involved in social services, particularly those that specialise in adoption processes or provide support for inter-country adoptions. Businesses that are well-positioned to compete in this tender include established adoption agencies, social work service providers, and organisations with a focus on family support and child welfare. The nature of the contract may attract large service providers looking to expand into new markets or smaller firms aiming to establish a foothold within the sector, particularly those not classified as SMEs or VCSEs.
