## Summary

Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council is currently in the Tender stage for the "10427-Adoption Support Services FPS" project. This procurement relates to the Social work and related services industry category and seeks providers across the United Kingdom. The contract seeks to establish a Flexible Purchasing System for adoption support services such as therapeutic provisions and family assessments. Key dates include the tender period ending on 21 April 2025, with services to begin on 14 May 2025 and conclude on 31 October 2026. The procurement method employed is selective, using a restricted procedure above the threshold, and the estimated contract value ranges from £250,000 to £2,000,000.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in therapeutic services and family assessments, particularly those with experience in social work and adoption support. Given the substantial budget and the flexibility of the purchasing system, organisations offering innovative and effective therapy solutions will be well-suited to compete. Although the procurement process is not explicitly aimed at SMEs or VCSEs, larger established companies in the relevant fields are encouraged to participate, potentially benefiting from consistent funding through avenues such as The Adoption Support Fund.

## Notice
