## Summary

The Bradford Metropolitan District Council is currently seeking service providers for its "Foster Carer Recruitment" project within the social work and related services sector, specifically under the category of services. This tender, published on 11th December 2018, is at the active stage and is being conducted through an open procurement method. The tender period concludes on 7th January 2019, with the contract expected to commence on 21st January 2019 and run until 19th July 2019. The projected value of the contract is £48,000, with a minimum value set at £12,000. Services will be delivered in Yorkshire and the Humber region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses experienced in fostering services, community outreach, and social work, particularly those focused on engaging under-represented communities. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to compete, given their ability to connect with the black and minority ethnic communities identified by the council. The successful bidders will be instrumental in expanding the pool of foster carers, thus providing a vital service to the local community and contributing to social welfare.

## Notice

The service provider will produce leads for potential carers that have some understanding of fostering children and young people. There is a desire for Bradford Council Fostering Service to increase the number of carers from under-represented communities. These are communities that children in care are from but for which we have a limited number of foster carers. The particular communities we would request that the service provider is able to focus on are black and minority ethnic communities.
