The procurement is at the tender stage, with a deadline for submissions on 27th October 2020. The selected supplier will provide clinical psychological support aimed at fostering carers and social care staff, with the contract to commence on 1st December 2020 and expected to last until 31st March 2022. The procurement method is an open procedure, allowing for wide participation. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specializing in counselling and psychological services, particularly those with experience in working with vulnerable children and fostering environments. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, as the services required aim to enhance the support framework for foster carers, ultimately contributing to improved outcomes for young people in care. Businesses that can provide tailored psychological interventions and have a strong understanding of fostering dynamics will be well-suited for this contract. ## Notice Warwickshire Fostering Service is reporting an increased number of fostering placement breakdowns, leading to poorer outcomes for young people. This is a result of a number of reasons, such as the increase in complexity of young people's needs, and is not unique to Warwickshire. However, the Fostering Service is seeking to address this challenge by developing the range of support offered to foster carers and fostering social care staff to maintain placement stability. The current Psychologist Support contract is due to end in November 2020, therefore Warwickshire County Council (the Council) is seeking a single supplier to provide a suitably qualified and experienced clinical psychologist who can implement a range of specialist psychological, psychodynamic and systemic interventions for foster carers and fostering social care staff, as identified by the fostering service.
