The Council does not have a dedicated contact centre, and the providers will be expected to deliver services from various locations in the borough as well as from outside the borough as may be required. The definition of supervised contact in context of this service, is contact arranged for children who are the subject of care proceedings (as defined by section 31 of the Children Act 1989), where proceedings have ended, and the child remain in the care of the Local Authority. For all these children, the risks and concern regarding the significant adults in their immediate and extended family are such that supervised contact needs to be fully supervised, monitored and recorded. The service will have a clear focus on providing a high-quality service and promoting positive experiences and outcome for children, young people and their families. Ealing Council has a duty to promote contact between children who are being looked after and their families of origin, in accordance with the requirements of the Children Act 1989 and associated Regulations and Guidance. Ealing Council currently provides some of its statutory obligations through the In-house service. The successful provider will work alongside the Council's own in-house contact supervision service to enable the Council to meet its obligations. The budget for this service in 20/21 was approximately PS45,000.00 but spend may vary. The duration of the contract is likely to be two (2) years with two (2) possible extensions of one (1) year. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c8726d8e-da4e-420f-80f5-c1045a2f97ea | | Notice type | Planned Procurement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 8 Jul 2021 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 9 Jul 2021 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Sep 2021 - 30 Sep 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £180,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LONDON BOROUGH OF EALING | | Locality | EALING | | Post town | West London | | Postcode | W5 2HL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI7 Outer London - West and North West | | ITL 3 | TLI73 Ealing | | Local authority | Ealing | | Electoral ward | Ealing Broadway | | Westminster constituency | Ealing Central and Acton | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLI London, TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 8 Jul 2021 at 17:07 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c8726d8e-da4e-420f-80f5-c1045a2f97ea - 8 Jul 2021 at 17:04 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0f13fca2-b7bf-4bf7-972c-81bfde95d592 - 13 Feb 2020 at 09:49 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/91234dd4-a777-4aaf-815d-bcd1cbeb317b - 12 Feb 2020 at 15:04 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9787535d-841d-4913-a942-5d4f793a3309 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c8726d8e-da4e-420f-80f5-c1045a2f97ea 8th July 2021 - Future opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0f13fca2-b7bf-4bf7-972c-81bfde95d592 8th July 2021 - Future opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/91234dd4-a777-4aaf-815d-bcd1cbeb317b 13th February 2020 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9787535d-841d-4913-a942-5d4f793a3309 12th February 2020 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=49c99fcd-a64d-ea11-80ff-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.ealing.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
