## Summary

The procurement process pertains to the contract titled "COV - Supervised Contact 2020 - AWARD", initiated by Coventry - Solihull - Warwickshire. This contract falls under the social work and related services category, specifically aimed at providing a statutory service to enable Children in Need and Looked after Children to maintain contact with their families. The contract is set to commence on 1st February 2021 and will run until 31st January 2026. The procurement method used was an open procedure, and the tender was previously open until 5th October 2020. The services will be delivered in Coventry, with service providers responsible for managing contact sessions without facilities provided by the Council.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in child welfare and social services, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can demonstrate effective and safe practices in safeguarding during contact sessions. Businesses that possess experience in statutory services for vulnerable children and families, along with a robust understanding of safeguarding measures, would be particularly well-suited to bid for this contract, potentially allowing them to expand their service delivery and reinforce their standing within the community.

## Notice

Supervised Child Contact is a statutory service (under Schedule 2 Children Act 1989) which places a duty on Local Authorities to enable Children in Need (CIN) and Looked after Children (LAC), to maintain contact with parents, birth families, and siblings. The service must deliver a detailed recording of all contact sessions, which contributes to the assessments undertaken by local authority social workers to support of care proceedings for individual children. All contact sessions must be actively managed to ensure they are delivered safely, and in a way that identifies and mitigates safeguarding risks in relation to both the children and adults. Premises shall not be provided by the Council and are a key aspect of the successful providers delivering these services within the City of Coventry. Consideration of this must be demonstrated within your response to the ITT.
