## Summary

The procurement process involves the Department for Education in the UK, which has issued a tender titled "A review of existing sources of evidence on the views, experiences and perceptions of children in or leaving care". This falls under the services industry category and is part of an open procurement method. The tender period ended on 30 December 2016, while the contract period ran from 20 January 2017 to 28 April 2017, with a total contract value of £29,832. The project was aimed at enhancing understanding of children's experiences in social care and care leavers.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in research and consultancy services related to social care. Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprise (VCSE) organisations would be well-suited to compete, given the focus on understanding the perspectives of vulnerable groups. Engaging in such projects not only fosters community impact but can also bolster a company's reputation and portfolio in the public sector.

## Notice

The Children's Commissioner's Office commissioned a piece of work which maps and describes recent sources of evidence on the views, experiences and perspectives of children receiving social care and care leavers in England. This will assist the Authority in planning where future work on this area should be focused. The work will take place in the first quarter of 2017 and may form the basis of a future State of the Nation report on the experiences of children in or leaving care.
