## Summary

Nottingham City Council is currently facilitating a tender process titled "CPU3161 Provision of assessments for prospective foster carers, connected persons and adoptive parents." This procurement is classified under health and social work services and is focused on providing essential assessment services necessary for fostering and adoption. The tender is open and will conclude on 8 January 2020. The anticipated contract period will commence on 1 April 2020 and last until 31 March 2024. The total value of this contract is £1,300,000, and the services will be delivered in the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those with experience in health and social work services, to expand their operations within the public sector. Businesses that specialise in providing assessments for foster carers or those engaged in social work training would be particularly well-positioned to compete for this contract. Given that the Nottingham City Council will also allow other local authorities, such as Derby City Council and Nottinghamshire County Council, to access the framework, this contract could lead to further engagements and collaborations within the D2N2 area.

## Notice

Nottingham City Council (NCC) has a statutory duty to provide sufficient accommodation for its Looked After Children and is also required by law to carry out assessments of people who formally express a desire to foster or adopt to ascertain that they are suitable individuals to foster or adopt children. Such assessment must be carried out within specific timescales. NCC is looking for an experienced provider to deliver foster carer, connected persons and SGO assessments on our behalf where we are unable to commit to delivering the assessment ourselves within the required timescales. These assessment services will be commissioned via a single-provider framework and in respect of fostering, connected person and SGO assessments the intention is that the following Local Authorities will be able to access the services via the framework in addition to NCC: Derby City Council, Derbyshire County Council, Nottinghamshire County Council (comprising collectively the 'D2N2' area).. All Expressions of Interest and enquiries should be made via registration on: www.eastmidstenders.org
