## Summary

The Walsall Council e-Tendering has awarded the contract for the procurement of independent support, guidance, and financial advice for Kinship Carers. The procurement falls under the Health and social work services category and has been classified further under Administrative social services and Social work and related services.

The contract is in effect from 1st October 2023 until 30th September 2025, with a total value of £159,000 GBP.

This procurement opportunity offers businesses in the health and social work services sector a chance to provide support to Kinship Carers in the West Midlands region of the United Kingdom. Companies specializing in administrative social services and social work should consider bidding for this contract, which aims to assist individuals providing kinship care to children. The scope of services required includes offering tailored support and training opportunities to meet the diverse needs of Kinship Carers.

## Notice

The Council wishes to procure independent support, guidance and access to financial advice and training opportunities for Kinship Carers, which is arranged and provided for them according to their individual circumstances. Kinship care is when a child lives full-time or most of the time with a relative or friend who is not their parent, usually because their parents are not able to care for them. That relative or friend is called a 'Kinship Carer', and it is estimated that around half of Kinship Carers are grandparents, but many other relatives including older siblings, aunts, uncles, as well as family friends and neighbours can also be Kinship Carers. Kinship Care includes children who may be: - Living in an informal arrangement made by their parents; - 'looked after' by the local authority and placed with kinship foster carers; - on a Child Arrangements Order, Special Guardianship Order or Residency Order.
