## Summary

Peterborough City Council is conducting early market engagement for the procurement of Children's External Placements Education & Tuition Services. The focus is on health and social work services, and the procurement stage is currently in the planning phase. The market engagement event will be held virtually on Teams on 23rd September 2024. This initiative covers several service areas, including Independent Fostering Agencies, Residential Children’s Homes, Independent Special Education Provisions/Post 16 Placements, Out of School Tuition, and Post 16 Alternative Provision.

This engagement offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in fostering, residential care, educational provisions, and specialised tuition services. Companies well-versed in these sectors, especially those committed to supporting children locally, stand to benefit from understanding upcoming procurement requirements and potentially influencing the scope of future tenders. The event aims to foster collaboration, ensuring that qualified organisations can prepare to bid for contracts that align with Peterborough City Council’s objectives for children's health and social care services.
