## Summary

The procurement process involves the buying organisation, ATAMIS LTD, which is focused on providing welfare services for children and young people. The tender, titled "Independent Child Trafficking Guardians - Additional sites," is part of the UK government's initiative under the Modern Slavery Act. The contract, valued at £5,000,000, aims to roll out the Independent Child Trafficking Guardians service to 11 additional counties in England and Wales, with a contract period running from March 8, 2021, to January 31, 2023. This award was announced on April 29, 2021, and marks the completion of the tender process that concluded on November 23, 2020.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in social and welfare services, particularly those focused on child protection and advocacy. Companies equipped to deliver services across multiple counties, especially in London, Essex, and West Yorkshire, will be well-positioned to compete. As this is a substantial government contract, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with proven experience in similar sectors are encouraged to consider engaging in future procurement opportunities that align with this type of service expansion.

## Notice

In 2015, the UK Government introduced the landmark Modern Slavery Act, giving law enforcement agencies the tools to tackle modern slavery, including maximum life sentences for perpetrators and enhanced protection for victims. Section 48 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 includes provision for Independent Child Trafficking Guardians (ICTGs), previously known as Independent Child Trafficking Advocates, in England and Wales. ICTGs are an independent source of advice for children who are identified as potentially trafficked and somebody who can speak up on their behalf. The ICTG service is currently available in one third of local authorities in England and Wales. The Government remains committed to the continued national roll out of ICTGs which will now be progressed as part of the recently established National Referral Mechanism (NRM) Transformation Programme. This grant funding will cover the next phase of the rollout which will expand the ICTG service to additional sites, encompassing 11 counties: London (excluding the London Borough of Croydon), Essex, West Yorkshire, Merseyside, Kent, Surrey, Warwickshire, Bedfordshire, North Yorkshire, Gloucestershire and Bristol and Lancashire.
