## Summary

The Leeds City Council is currently seeking bids for the "Interagency Adoption Placement Service" as part of an open procurement process in the social work and related services category. This tender is aimed at agencies that can facilitate the placement of at least 30 children for adoption annually within the West Yorkshire region, which also includes Bradford, Calderdale, Kirklees, and Wakefield. The tender period is set to conclude on 31st January 2020, while the contract will commence on 23rd March 2020 and run until 31st March 2023. Interested parties should contact Laura Skirrow at laura.skirrow@leeds.gov.uk for more information.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specializing in social services, particularly those with expertise in adoption and family support. Businesses that can effectively recruit, assess, and support families looking to adopt locally will be particularly well-suited to compete. With the focus on placing older children and sibling groups for adoption, agencies that have strong community connections and a robust understanding of local needs will have a competitive advantage in this tender.

## Notice

The Council is undertaking this procurement on behalf of the West Yorkshire region as host of One Adoption West Yorkshire (OAWY). OAWY became the country's first Regional Adoption Agency when the regionalisation reforms were launched - bringing together all of the adoption services from Bradford, Calderdale, Kirklees, Leeds and Wakefield. The Contractor will recruit, assess and support families who see the benefits of adopting locally and are prepared to wait for a local match; and would like to adopt older children and sibling groups. The Contractor will work in partnership with OAWY to place a minimum of 30 children for adoption per year.
