This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health services, particularly those with expertise in paediatrics and fostering/adoption advisory roles, to contribute to the community's well-being. Businesses equipped with qualified medical professionals, like doctors and consultant paediatricians, and those with experience in delivering health advice and guidance within statutory requirements, would be well-suited to compete.

The contract's scope for innovation encourages suppliers to create robust health assessment frameworks, which can lead to long-term strategic collaborations and improved health outcomes for children under the London Borough of Brent's care.

## Notice

The Council has a contract titled medical advisers for adoption and fostering panels. The current contract will expire on 30/11/2024. It is provided by Central London Community Healthcare NHS Trust ("CLCH") who deliver the services under contract. Medical Advisers are registered qualified doctors and consultant paediatricians, and the professional and specialist nature of the service means it needs to be outsourced as this expertise is not available within the Council. It is a statutory requirement for local authorities to appoint Medical Advisers for the provision of health advice and guidance to Fostering and Adoption Panels. This is contained within several Acts pertinent to Children's Services.
