This procurement process is classified under social work services with and without accommodation, and is focusing on the South West region of the United Kingdom. The tender period has ended on 27th July 2020, with the contract period set to commence from 31st August 2020 and lasting until 30th August 2030. The procurement method is an open procedure, with a total estimated value of £11,125,000. For businesses interested in participating, registration with the South West procurement portal is required. This tender presents a significant opportunity for organisations specialising in residential care services for children and young people, particularly those with capabilities in providing both short-term and long-term placements. Businesses engaged in social work and those able to meet the specific needs of looked-after children and families in distress would be well-suited to compete. The potential for collaboration with Torbay Council and possibly other local authorities enhances the prospects for business growth in the social care sector. ## Notice Torbay Council does not currently have any in-house residential provision and purchases all of its residential placements from third parties. In the financial year 2018/19 we spent approximately PS6,00,000 on these placements. There were 44 children in residential placement in September 2019, average cost of PS4,800/week. A significant number of placements are outside of Torbay and in some instances outside of the south west region. Torbay Council is looking to contract with one or two providers who will be able to deliver residential placement services within two homes which we will be purchasing. The contract is intended for the sole use of Torbay Council, however placements may be exceptionally made available to other local authorities, where Torbay Council is not fully utilising the service. Torbay Council will award either: Lot 1: a single provider to deliver care in a residential setting for children and young people on the edge of care, so that reunification can take place and short and long term placements for looked after children considered to be in need of residential care in the Torbay area; OR Lot 2: a single provider to deliver care in a residential setting for children on the edge of care, so that re-unification can take place; AND Lot 3: short and long term placements for looked after children considered to be in need of residential care in the Torbay area.
