## Summary

The Peterborough City Council has awarded a contract for the provision of services as a Locum Barrister in the Child Protection team. The contract, with a value of £29,500 GBP, was awarded through a direct method with a tender period ending on January 22, 2024. The contract period is from February 19, 2024, to May 18, 2024, and the contracting authority's address is at Sand Martin House, Bittern Way, Peterborough, England. The procurement can create business opportunities for legal service providers in the consulting field.

Businesses, particularly SMEs in the legal and consulting industry, may find this opportunity suitable for growth. The award notice was published on February 28, 2024, by the Peterborough City Council. The contracting authority, the Council, seeks to address staffing needs in their Child Protection team to meet increased work demands following a recent OFSTED inspection. Interested businesses can contact Vicky Jones at Procurementcontracts@peterborough.gov.uk for further details on this opportunity.

## Notice

There is a vacancy now which has not been filled despite a 3-week advertisement for a replacement. It is not possible for the team to manage without a 5th lawyer in view of the amount of work which the team holds. The team provides advice to all the teams within Children's Services which includes adoption and fostering. The recent OFSTED inspection and subsequent report has meant an increase in work for the team, particularly urgent cases where immediate steps have to be taken to ensure the safety of children. The team cannot appropriately assist the improvement work of Children's Services without having the required number of lawyers.
