## Summary

Wigan Council is seeking an independent provider through an open tender process for the "Children Missing from Home or Care" service. This procurement falls within the health and social work services category and is located in Wigan, North West England. The tender was published on 18th July 2018, and the submission period concluded on 13th August 2018. The contract, valued at £58,500, will commence on 1st October 2018 and run until 31st March 2020.

This opportunity is ideal for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) specialising in child welfare and safeguarding services. Providers focused on developing coordinated responses to children's needs, particularly those missing from care, would benefit from aligning their services with the objectives of Wigan Council and the Wigan Safeguarding Children's Board, potentially fostering business growth and community impact.

## Notice

Wigan Council, with support for the Wigan Safeguarding Children's Board, are seeking to commission an independent provider to ensure that the risks and needs of children who are going missing are properly understood and responded to effectively. We wish to continue to build on the positive practice and continue to develop and analyse information to consider the 'so what' element. The Children Missing from Home or Care Service will provide a co-ordinated response to all children in Wigan who are missing from home or care.
