## Summary

The procurement process for the "Adopted Adults Peer Group Project" was initiated by East Sussex County Council as the buyer. This project falls under the industry category of Social Work and Related Services (CPV Code 85300000) and targets the South East region of the United Kingdom. The procurement was conducted through an open procedure, below threshold, with the tender stage finalised by 19th December 2024. The contract was awarded to Family Action - PAC UK on 6th February 2025, and the contract period spans from 1st June 2025 to 31st May 2027.

This tender presents ample opportunities for business growth, particularly for independent organisations capable of providing support services for adult adoptees. Suitability criteria favour small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), making it an attractive proposition for businesses in these sectors. The project aims to foster peer relationships among adult adoptees, either virtually or in-person, creating a platform for shared experiences and social connectivity, thus ideally suiting organisations specialising in social work and community-based services.

## Notice

Adoption South East is the Regional Adoption Agency providing adoption services to Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex and Brighton & Hove local authorities. Included within the work we are commissioned to provide for these local authorities are services for adopted adults who are over 18 years old and their relatives. As part of this service provision, Adoption South East are asking independent organisations to tender for the opportunity to provide groups for adult adoptees who either live in these local authorities or who were adopted through them. The groups will provide a space for the adopted adults to meet each other, either virtually or face to face in order to share experiences and promote peer relationships.
