The procurement is underway as part of an open procedure that commenced on 4th September 2020, with a deadline for submissions set for 5th October 2020. The successful contract will span from 1st February 2021 to 31st January 2026, and this procurement falls under the category of social work and related services. Interested parties are encouraged to register through the CSW-JETS e-procurement system to access further information and documentation. This tender presents an opportunity for service providers specialising in social care and child services to expand their offerings in the West Midlands region. Businesses that focus on child welfare, psychological support, and safety management would benefit significantly from participating in this procurement process. The emphasis on active management and safeguarding measures makes this an ideal opportunity for organisations that can demonstrate expertise in delivering safe contact services in compliance with statutory requirements. ## Notice Supervised Child Contact is a statutory service (under Schedule 2 Children Act 1989) which places a duty on Local Authorities to enable Children in Need (CIN) and Looked after Children (LAC), to maintain contact with parents, birth families, and siblings. The service must deliver a detailed recording of all contact sessions, which contributes to the assessments undertaken by local authority social workers to support of care proceedings for individual children. All contact sessions must be actively managed to ensure they are delivered safely, and in a way that identifies and mitigates safeguarding risks in relation to both the children and adults. Premises shall not be provided by the Council and are a key aspect of the successful providers delivering these services within the City of Coventry. Consideration of this must be demonstrated within your response to the ITT.
