## Summary

The Cornwall Council is initiating a public procurement process for the "CIC - Participation & Engagement" tender, focusing on health and social work services. With a budget of £1,988,960, the procurement is currently in the planning stage, and the engagement period will conclude on 30 June 2020. The services will be delivered in the South West region of the United Kingdom, specifically designed for empowering children in care and care leavers.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in health and social work. Businesses that can offer innovative solutions for supporting children and families, especially those at risk of entering the care system, would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Engaging in this procurement can enhance their market presence while contributing to vital community services.

## Notice

The In Care / Leaving Care CIC service leads on empowering children in care and care leavers to: participate; support children in private fostering arrangements; receive and supporting unaccompanied asylum-seeking children, provide specialist support to carers (including special guardians) and life-long adoption support. The services also provide a specialist, multi-disciplinary support to children on the edge of care and their families, with the aim of preventing family breakdown and keeping children out of the care system, either at home or with their wider family.
