## Summary

The Central Bedfordshire Council is currently conducting a procurement process for the "CBC-0941-T-LS Supervised Contact for Looked After Children" service. This initiative falls under the welfare services for children and young people sector and is aimed at supporting vulnerable families and children who cannot live with their family. The procurement is at the tender stage, with an end date set for 20 January 2019, and the contract period scheduled to begin on 1 April 2019 and conclude on 31 March 2024. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, suitable for above-threshold contracts, and the relevant delivery addresses span various regions, including the United Kingdom and its territories.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in social work services, community support, and welfare provisions targeted at children and families. Companies specialising in health and social work services would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract, especially those capable of delivering services from community venues to minimise travel for children. As the delivery model focuses on enhancing access and reducing logistical burdens, opportunities for innovative service delivery providers that can demonstrate effective and compassionate engagement with children and families are especially valuable.

## Notice

The service includes the total arrangement and supervision of contact between children and their family members where a child or young person is not able to live with their family. The service is a statutory duty under the Children Act 1989 and forms an integral part of our offer to the most vulnerable families and young people. Service delivery will be from a range of community venues which aim to make better use of underused facilities as well as reduce the amount of travel required by children to attend contact.
