The contract, with a value of £2,200,000 GBP, is open for applications until September 7, 2022. The therapy services will be focused on supporting children up to the age of 21 (or 25 for certain cases) who have been adopted and require emotional and behavioural support. The procurement process will involve a call-off basis from the Open Framework, with the contract period commencing from January 20, 2023, to January 20, 2026. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses in the health and social work services sector to provide post-adoption therapy services within specific regions across England. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are encouraged to apply. Suitable businesses must be able to deliver therapeutic support to adopted children and young people, helping them improve emotional regulation, behaviour, learning engagement, confidence, and family relationships in line with the Adoption Support Fund (ASF) guidelines. ## Notice Adopt Thames Valley (ATV) invites Applicants to apply to join the Open Framework for post-adoption therapeutic support across Oxfordshire, Reading, Swindon, Bracknell Forest, Windsor and Maidenhead, West Berkshire and Wokingham. Successful applicants will be registered on the Open Framework and commissioned as required on a 'call off' basis. Adoption Support Fund (ASF) was launched by the Government in 2015 to provide financial support to families and children and young people who may need therapeutic support to help achieve improved emotional regulation and behaviour, improved engagement with learning, confidence and the ability to enjoy positive family life and social relationships. The support from the ASF is available for children living in England up to and including the age of 21 (or 25 with a Statement of Special Educational Needs or Education Health & Care Plan) who are adopted and were previously in local authority care in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, or who left care under a Special Guardianship Order, or were adopted from overseas. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/afdd7cc2-438a-4215-b7b5-9dee6fb8df65 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 9 Aug 2022 | | Submission deadline | 8 Sep 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 20 Jan 2023 - 20 Jan 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £2,200,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | OXFORDSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | OXFORD | | Post town | Oxford | | Postcode | OX1 1ND | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ1 Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLJ14 Oxfordshire CC | | Local authority | Oxford | | Electoral ward | Osney & St Thomas | | Westminster constituency | Oxford West and Abingdon | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 9 Aug 2022 at 08:25 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/afdd7cc2-438a-4215-b7b5-9dee6fb8df65 - 8 Aug 2022 at 16:15 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b92f2e61-474c-494d-bd51-47240c1a8def ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/afdd7cc2-438a-4215-b7b5-9dee6fb8df65 9th August 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b92f2e61-474c-494d-bd51-47240c1a8def 8th August 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - http://procontract.due-north.com Portal Link ## Notice URLs - http://www.oxfordshire.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
