## Summary

Leeds City Council is seeking independent advice for the OAWY Adoption Panel through a tender process that has concluded with the awarding of a contract valued at £96,000. This procurement falls under the category of business services, specifically within law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing, and security. The service was originally tendered until 29 March 2022, with the contract period running from 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2024, based in the Yorkshire and the Humber region of the United Kingdom. The procurement method employed was a selective procedure.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in consultancy and advisory services, particularly those experienced in the adoption and child welfare sectors.
