This initiative aims to enhance the participation of children and young people in shaping local services across Cheshire East, with a focus on integrating their voices in service development. The tender is classified under social work and related services, with a total value of £66,000. The submission deadline for the Request For Quotation (RFQ) documentation is set for 20 March 2017, and the contract period will commence on 1 April 2017, lasting until 31 March 2018. This procurement opportunity presents significant potential for growth for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in children's rights and participation services. Businesses with experience in working with the children's care system are particularly well-suited to compete, as they can demonstrate relevant insights and innovative approaches to involving young people in decision-making processes. Engaging in this tender may help organisations expand their service offerings and strengthen community ties while making a positive impact on the lives of children and young people in Cheshire East. ## Notice Cheshire East local authority is seeking to work in partnership with an organisation to support its journey to embed and sustain the voice of the child and participation of children and young people at the heart of all services across Cheshire East. The service aims to ensure that every opportunity is taken to capture young people's views to shape services. The Service must be able to add value to our existing children's rights and participation service and the progress made to date. The local authority wants to work with an organisation led by people who have relevant experience and understanding of the children's care system and who can use that experience to inspire our young people and staff and new ways of working and thinking. Additional information: Please note you are required to register, express an interest, download the Request For Quotation (RFQ) documentation and upload the completed RFQ documentation by below deadline. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ffab993f-b9bf-4056-8a88-e492f5bec2b2 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 2 Mar 2017 | | Submission deadline | 20 Mar 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2017 - 31 Mar 2018 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £66,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CHESHIRE EAST COUNCIL | | Locality | SANDBACH | | Post town | Crewe | | Postcode | CW11 1HZ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD6 Cheshire | | ITL 3 | TLD62 Cheshire East | | Local authority | Cheshire East | | Electoral ward | Sandbach Town | | Westminster constituency | Congleton | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85300000 - Social work and related services ## Release History - 2 Mar 2017 at 15:25 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ffab993f-b9bf-4056-8a88-e492f5bec2b2 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ffab993f-b9bf-4056-8a88-e492f5bec2b2 2nd March 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/2c15c730-fe3e-4c85-a4f3-8a2ccc1a4302 Specification ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
