## Summary

Gloucestershire County Council commissioned independent visiting services for children in care. The work involves providing independent visitors who support children looked after by the council. It is a health and social care service delivered in Gloucestershire, England. The requirement is focused on children in care rather than general children’s services, so it is most relevant to organisations experienced in providing independent advocacy, visiting or support for looked-after children.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Gloucestershire County Council selected Reconstruct Children and Adults Ltd through a call-off from a framework, using a selective process. The award was made on 10 September 2026. The contract is valued at £102,984.30 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2029. The tender deadline was 26 August 2026. The requirement was treated as a service contract, with suitability indicated for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award shows demand from Gloucestershire County Council for specialist independent visiting support for children in care, delivered through a framework call-off. A credible competitor when this requirement returns to market would need to demonstrate the ability to recruit, support and retain suitable independent visitors, and to provide reliable, child-centred services for looked-after children across Gloucestershire. Relevant experience in children’s social care, safeguarding and building trusted relationships with children would help establish fit for the requirement. The selected provider is a small business, and the procurement was marked suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that organisations of this scale and type can be relevant competitors. The work is a focused service requirement rather than a broad health or social care contract.
