## Summary

Torbay Council is currently in the planning stage of the procurement process for the "Residential Placements Partner Market Engagement" initiative. The procurement is focused on social work services without accommodation, with the engagement end date set for 12th August 2020. The council, located in Torquay, England, seeks to explore options for establishing children's homes in response to a previous unsuccessful tender. This opportunity is aimed at engaging with potential providers to discuss plans and gather insights before proceeding further.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that can offer innovative solutions in social work services. Those interested in competing should have expertise in delivering social care services, preferably within a residential context. Engaging in this procurement process could lead to long-term contracts with a local authority, positioning businesses at the forefront of community service provision in Torbay.

## Notice

Torbay Council recently underwent a procurement process for the provision of two Children's Homes in Torbay. Unfortunately, the tender was unsuccessful and we were unable to to begin the process of entering into a formal agreement with a provider. It is still the case however, that we want to create this provision in the near future and therefore would value greatly the opportunity to discuss with you a number of options for proceeding. Therefore we will be holding a virtual Market Engagement. Additional information: In order to provide unrestricted, full, direct and free of charge access to the Tender Documents the Authority is providing the Documents in PDF format in the 'Opportunities' Area of the ProContract e-Tendering portal, at www.supplyingthesouthwest.org.uk In order to access amendable versions of the Documents and to submit a response, Applicants must be registered as Suppliers on ProContract. Applicants should then register an interest in the opportunity and download the Documents for completion and submission.
