This tender falls under the social work services category and targets residential placements for children. The procurement method used is an open procedure, and the tender was published on 20 July 2021. Interested parties had until 20 August 2021 to submit their bids. The contract is set to start on 1 October 2021 and will run until 30 September 2024, covering the South East and South West regions of England. The total estimated value of the framework is between £1 billion and £2 billion. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in social care and associated services for children. Companies that can provide residential care, crisis care, therapeutic care, and related educational services are particularly well-suited to compete. Given the possibility for new providers to enter the framework and the potential for existing providers to extend their presence, this procurement is a strategic opportunity for both small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as larger organisations looking to expand their services in the children's care sector. ## Notice This procurement is for the reopening of the children's residential placement Consortia Commissioning framework originally let in 2018.
