This initiative is focused on procuring residential and independent fostering agency services as part of the South London Commissioning Programme (SLCP), which covers areas such as Bexley, Greenwich, Lambeth, and Lewisham. A provider engagement event is scheduled for 11 September 2019 at the Croydon Conference Centre, with a registration deadline of 9 September 2019. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialised in health and social work services, to expand their footprint within the public sector. Providers such as small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are well-positioned to compete, especially those with experience in delivering care and support services for children and young people. Engaging in this procurement could facilitate valuable partnerships with multiple boroughs, ultimately enhancing service delivery in this critical sector. ## Notice The South London Commissioning Programme (SLCP) Looked After Children (LAC) project is holding a provider engagement event as part of a procurement process for residential and fostering agency provision. We are seeking to positively engage and consult with service providers who have experience of providing care and support in the residential and independent fostering agency sector. The provider event will take place on Wednesday 11 September 2019 at the Croydon Conference Centre from 11:00 - 15:00. Address: Croydon Conference Centre 5-9 Surrey Street, Croydon CR0 1RG Event Venue Website: http://www.croydonconferencecentre.co.uk Deadline for registration is Monday 09 September 2019. This is an excellent opportunity for providers to be informed of the procurement process and work in partnership with boroughs to inform service delivery for children and young people. The estimated annual contract value is PS88million, with a potential total contract value of PS700million over an 8 year duration (3 years + 2 years + 2 years + 1 year). The SLCP LAC Project is a sub-regional partnership between Bexley, Croydon, Greenwich, Lambeth, Lewisham, Merton, Southwark, and Sutton.
