## Summary

The Walsall Metropolitan Borough Council is conducting an open tender process for the "Walsall Early Help Community Activities Reducing Exploitation Project (Early Help CARE Project)" within the social work and related services category. This procurement has been initiated under the Light Touch Regime and is currently in the active stage, with the tender period closing on 16 May 2022. The project aims to provide essential services to young people experiencing vulnerabilities to exploitation, specifically targeting those in Year 6 and above with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). The total contract value is £2,400,000, covering multiple localities across Walsall with options for extension up to 24 months.

The project involves multiple lots divided by locality, allowing for various suppliers to participate, which can enhance collaboration within the community service sector and support the growth of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) focused on social services.
