This procurement focuses on services related to welfare for children and young people, located in Birmingham, West Midlands. The current procurement stage is planning, with an end date for submissions set at noon on 19th February 2021. The contract is expected to commence from 25th October 2021 and spans a duration of five years, potentially extending until March 2028. The process follows a selective procurement method, specifically competitive dialogue, adhering to the Light Touch Regime as outlined in the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses operating within the voluntary adoption sector, particularly those with experience in delivering innovative and efficient social services. Companies that specialise in welfare services for children and young people, including existing Voluntary Adoption Agencies (VAAs), would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Engaging in this partnership could not only enhance service delivery for the Birmingham Children's Trust but also facilitate business growth through increased collaboration and visibility in the market. ## Notice Birmingham Childrens Trust is seeking a collaborative partner from an existing Voluntary Adoption Agency (VAA) to help it deliver the governments expectations to establish an RAA. The partner will work with the Trust to design a modern, forward thinking and well-functioning RAA, led by a vision and commitment to excellent practice, innovative approaches to achieve improvements and value for money, drawing upon the expertise of both partners. The Trust wishes to establish a Regional Adoption Agency (RAA) for the provision of matching and placing children with adopters and conducts this light touch regime (LTR) procurement in accordance with Chapter 3, section 7 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (PCR 2015) in relation to Social and Other Specific Services. The duration of the Contract will be five years from contract award with an option to extend up to March 2028. The Contract will be awarded to a single provider.
