## Summary

The Trafford Council is currently conducting a tender for the "Children and Young People's Residential Placements Flexible Procurement System," aimed at developing a Flexible Procurement System (FPS) for high-quality children's residential placements in the North West region of the United Kingdom. The tender period is set to conclude on 25th October 2017, while the contract will commence on 2nd January 2018 and extend until 1st January 2028. This procurement follows a selective method, specifically a restricted procedure, with a total contract value estimated at £1.11 billion, and a minimum value of £850 million, focusing on health and social work services. Interested parties should pay careful attention to the provided deadlines to ensure participation.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs), that specialise in health and social care services. Companies that can demonstrate experience in providing innovative and sustainable solutions for children's residential care, as well as those willing to collaborate with local authorities, will find this procurement particularly relevant. By engaging in this process, businesses can not only secure a role in improving the lives of children but also expand their market presence in the public sector.

## Notice

The North West Local Authorities are developing a Flexible Procurement System (FPS) to facilitate the commissioning of high quality Children's Residential Placements. We are looking to knowledgeable and experienced providers to work with us to transform the lives of children, enabling them to break down barriers and turn challenging situations into positive ones. Through the FPS we are looking for sustainability, transformation and innovation with providers and Local Authorities and wider partners to work together to ensure each one of our children has the capacity, skills, independence and resilience they will need to meet the challenges of adult life in the 21st century.
