This tender, entitled "Children's Social Care Residential and SEN Placements," falls under the "Light Touch Regime" for "Social and Other Specific Services" as per the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with the engagement end date marked on 23rd February 2018. The targeted location for service delivery is the South East region of the United Kingdom, primarily Bracknell, and the tender is classified under education and training services as well as health and social work services. This tender presents significant opportunities for organisations specialising in children's care and educational support services, particularly those with an Ofsted rating of 'Good' or 'Outstanding.' Businesses that can demonstrate quality service provision and respond effectively to urgent requirements will be advantageous in this competitive tendering process. Companies involved in social care, educational support, and related health services could find this procurement an appealing avenue for growth and expanded market presence. ## Notice Bracknell Forest Council intend to award placements for children's residential care and for Special Educational Needs (SEN) school places during the 24 months from 1st April 2016. The selection of providers is based on quality and cost criteria but also in most cases responding to urgent and changing requirements and to client's right of choice. This procurement process is being completed under the "Light Touch Regime", governing "Social and Other Specific Services" detailed in the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. Please note that contracts will be awarded without any further publication and that no further publication will be placed on the Tenders Electronic Daily website (OJEU) after this PIN.
