## Summary

Bristol City Council has concluded a procurement process for ethical fostering services, specifically related to the placement of children with Independent Foster Agencies (IFAs). The procurement method utilised was an open procedure, and the total contract value is £165,000. The contract period is set to commence on 1 April 2020 and will last until 31 March 2021. The location for service delivery falls within the South West region of the United Kingdom, and the procurement process officially closed on 23 March 2020.

This opportunity can facilitate significant growth for businesses offering health and social work services, particularly those specialising in fostering and childcare. With the contract awarded to Channel and Choices Therapeutic Fostering, other suppliers in the market, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), may find opportunities to engage in future collaborations or tenders in similar areas. Companies experienced in social work and child placement services should consider positioning themselves for similar upcoming opportunities within public procurement.
