The procurement process is at the planning stage, focusing on the CPV industry categories of health and social work services, including social work services with accommodation. The engagement event will culminate on 25th January 2025. Prospective providers must confirm their participation by 5pm on 1st November 2024 via the In-Tend portal, and the virtual event aims to gather feedback on the Council's proposed approach to managing the facility. This tender offers various opportunities for business growth, especially for qualified providers in the children's homes sector. Engaging in this process allows businesses to influence the final tender requirements and outcomes. Companies with an interest in providing high-quality social work services and who can operate a residential children's home within the specified location (Milton Keynes, South East, United Kingdom) are particularly well-suited to compete. Participation in this event can position providers favourably for subsequent procurement stages and long-term collaborations with the Council. ## Notice THIS IS A MARKET ENGAGEMENT EVENT Milton Keynes City Council are developing a tender for a 2-bedded residential children's home and are keen to engage with prospective providers on their proposed approach. We invite suitably qualified children's homes providers to a virtual engagement event which will build on previous written engagement. We will share young people's views, details of our requirement and the outcomes we are seeking for children and young people and take on board any feedback from providers in finalising the tender. To confirm your participation, please RSVP by latest 5pm on the 1st November 2024, via the correspondence function on In-Tend, and provide the required information in the Invitation to Market Engagement document attached.
