## Summary

The procurement process is being managed by Commercial Services for the tender titled "Children's Social Care Managed Services". This project falls under the health and social work services category (CPV 85000000) and is based in West Malling, UK (postal code ME19 4YT). The current stage of procurement is in the tender phase, with an emphasis on urgency due to an increased volume of work in children's social care, necessitating an interim contract for a managed service provider for a maximum duration of six months. The initiative also highlights the importance of safeguarding children, reflecting the critical nature of this requirement.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses operating in the social care and managed services sector, particularly those who can provide qualified social work teams or staffing solutions. Companies specialising in recruitment, workforce management, or social care services are ideally positioned to compete for this contract. The urgent nature of the requirement suggests that businesses capable of quickly mobilising resources and providing efficient service delivery will have a competitive edge in this process.

## Notice

This is a voluntary ex-ante transparency (VEAT) notice to indicate that in light of the recently increased volume of work and the challenges to the recruitment of agency and permanent social workers, the Council now needs to award an interim contract for managed service provider to supply up to three Childrens social care CAST teams for The Children & Families branch, without prior publication of a call for competition. This will be for a maximum of six months due to the urgent nature of this requirement and the importance of Childrens safeguarding.
