The procurement focuses on health and social work services, particularly supporting children in various circumstances. The tender process, currently active, allows for providers to join or adjust their bids annually, with responses to requests to participate given by the end of the following calendar month. This contract, valued at £26,000,000, covers services in the UKH14 region and will commence on 1st April 2025, initially running until 31st March 2027, with an optional one-year extension available. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in social care services to expand their operations. The rolling select list will be of interest to organisations capable of providing specialised support for disabled children, crisis support, social care support, and supervised family time services. By participating, eligible businesses can secure a long-term partnership with Suffolk County Council, and utilise this contract to demonstrate capability and attract further contracts in the social care field. Given the breadth of services required, providers with strong competencies in health and social work services, including those adept at handling sensitive and crisis situations, are particularly well-suited for this opportunity. ## Notice Tenders are invited for inclusion on a Rolling Select List of approved, quality assured providers of Social Care Community Support intended to facilitate the provision of: * Support for Children open to Social Care's Disabled Children and Young People's Team (Lot 1)* Social Care Support for Children (Lot 2) * Crisis Support for Children (Lot 3) * Supervised Family Time Support (Lot 4) Providers can apply to join the Rolling Select List or amend which lots they have bid for at any time, however their applications once the Select List is live will only be considered on an annual basis.
