## Summary

Derbyshire County Council, a sub-central government public authority, is in the planning stage of a procurement process titled "D2N2 Provision for Children in Care - Fostering". This initiative focuses on a regional framework for fostering care provision intended for use by Derby City Council, Derbyshire County Council, Nottingham City Council, and Nottinghamshire County Council. The procurement category falls under services, specifically welfare services for children and young people. The framework agreement, valued at up to £180 million, is scheduled to begin on 2 January 2026 and end on 1 January 2029, with the possibility of renewal until 1 January 2034. Potential participants should note the future notice date for tender release is set for 13 August 2025, and the services will be delivered within the UKF1 region.
