## Summary

This procurement process, managed by Coventry City Council, pertains to the provision of a Regulation 44 Service for Coventry Children's Homes, as defined under the Children's Homes (England) Regulations 2015. The contract, which was awarded to RECONSTRUCT (CHILDREN AND ADULT SERVICES) LIMITED, commenced on 1st September 2025 and is set to run until 31st August 2028, with an option for extensions. The procurement was conducted using an open procedure below the threshold for competitive bidding, focusing on administrative social services within the Coventry area (region UKG33). The process progressed through various stages, including planning, tender, and award, with significant milestones such as the tender period ending on 14th May 2025 and the contract being signed on 22nd August 2025.

The Regulation 44 Service contract offers significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), particularly those in the service sector specialising in administrative and social services. The emphasis on visitor audits and the regular reporting of findings to Registered Managers and Ofsted presents a niche opportunity for companies proficient in compliance and quality assurance in the social services field. The open competition under the light-touch regime ensures that businesses focusing on safeguarding, service delivery, and experience can effectively compete by showcasing their capabilities in these areas. Businesses with expertise in quality communication and reporting, as well as those with a strong background in safeguarding and training, will find themselves particularly well-suited to meet the tender's requirements.
