This active tender is classified under the Social work and related services category (CPV 85300000). The tender process is open, with submissions due by 2nd April 2019. The contract period will commence on 1st July 2019 and conclude on 31st March 2022, with an estimated contract value between £750,000 and £1,200,000. The primary location for service delivery is London, specifically indicated by the postal code SW1P 3BT. This procurement represents significant opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) to engage with a pivotal governmental function. Businesses with expertise in managing secretariats, data collection, and social care consultancy will find this particularly beneficial. The initiative aims to enhance the management services for the Adoption and Special Guardianship Leadership Board, alongside related Boards, and is expected to foster improvements in social care systems, making it an appealing and impactful project for prospective contractors. ## Notice The Adoption and Special Guardianship Leadership Board (ASGLB) was established in 2014 as the Adoption Leadership Board. Its aim was to provide leadership to the adoption system and drive improvements in performance. It was chaired by Sir Martin Narey up until March 2016. Andrew Christie has been the ASGLB Chair since April 2016. In 2018 the Board expanded its remit to cover those children subject to a Special Guardianship Order who were previously in care and subsequently changed its name to the Adoption and Special Guardianship Leadership Board. The Residential Care Leadership Board (RCLB) was established in 2017 in response to Sir Martin Narey's 2016 review of children's residential care in England. Its aim is to drive forward improvements to the children's residential care system and support vulnerable children across the country. It is chaired by Sir Alan Wood. The National Stability Forum (NSF) was established in 2018. It is a new Board, chaired by the Department for Education's Director General of Social Care, Mobility and Disadvantage with the aim of improving stability for all children in the orbit of the care system, leading to better outcomes for those children and to more children finding the right permanent placement. The required service will continue and expand upon the existing management service for the ASGLB and its Chair, which includes the running of the secretariat and the collection and publication of a quarterly adoption statistical release. In addition to this, the new service will provide support to two other Boards and their respective Chairs - the RCLB and the NSF.
