The service is specifically tailored for children aged 11-18 with social and emotional needs. The engagement end date for suppliers is set for October 3, 2023. Herefordshire Council is seeking suppliers to deliver care and support through two children's homes in the county, with a focus on health and social work services. The procurement process is currently in the planning stage. This tender opportunity presents an opening for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise organisations (VCSEs) to engage with Herefordshire Council. Businesses in the health and social work services industry, as well as those providing community and personal services, are well-suited to compete for this contract. Suppliers interested in collaborating with the council to deliver quality care services for vulnerable children can find further information on how to participate in 1:1 Meetings by visiting www.supplyingthesouthwest.org.uk and searching for the opportunity under Herefordshire council. ## Notice Herefordshire has an exciting opportunity for a Supplier of residential children's care to support the Council with its continuing journey to improving outcomes for our cared for children and young people (CLA) and in meeting its sufficiency duty. The Council wishes to seek a Supplier to work with us and to deliver care and support to our CLA aged 11-18 years who require residential care. We have a small but stable demand for such provision for children and young people who have a range of social and emotional needs born out of traumatic life experiences (ACE: adverse childhood experiences). For clarity, this service is not for children whom have a primary need of disability and/or ASD. Further to the market engagement undertaken in the Spring of this year Herefordshire Council is considering a tender to secure two children's homes within the county and would like to invite any suitably qualified providers to engage via 1:1 Meetings with council commissioners and officers. Further information and booking of 1:1 Meetings can be found by going to www.supplyingthesouthwest.org.uk and searching for the opportunity under Herefordshire council. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e1c91dfe-61a4-4b10-8836-807533056606 | | Notice type | Market Engagement 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 | 18 Sep 2023 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 3 Oct 2023 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | HEREFORDSHIRE COUNCIL | | Locality | HEREFORD | | Post town | Hereford | | Postcode | HR4 0LE | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG1 Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Warwickshire | | ITL 3 | TLG11 Herefordshire, County of | | Local authority | Herefordshire, County of | | Electoral ward | Widemarsh | | Westminster constituency | Hereford and South Herefordshire | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services - 98000000 - Other community, social and personal services ## Release History - 18 Sep 2023 at 10:55 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e1c91dfe-61a4-4b10-8836-807533056606 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e1c91dfe-61a4-4b10-8836-807533056606 18th September 2023 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://www.herefordshire.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
