## Summary

Plymouth City Council is currently seeking bids for a tender titled "Life Story Work for Children Who Are to Be Adopted." This procurement falls under the health and social work services category, with a total estimated value of £1,200,000. The tender is part of an open procurement process, set to close on 8th February 2019, and the service delivery will take place in the South West region of the United Kingdom. The contract is scheduled to commence on 1st April 2019 and will run until 31st March 2022.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in social work and child welfare services. Companies that can provide tailored support for children transitioning into adoption, especially those with experience in life story work and counselling, will be particularly well-suited to compete. Engaging with this contract could enable successful bidders to expand their services within the public sector, enhance their reputations, and contribute positively to the lives of children and families in need.

## Notice

Life Story Work enables children who are to be adopted to gain a greater understanding of the circumstances leading to them coming into care and being adopted. Children should be given information in an accessible form which explains their family background, the work which was carried out to support their family before they came into care and the reasons why they were taken into care. The aim is that children feel supported and informed at the time they are adopted and this enables them to achieve maturity and stability.
