## Summary

Nottinghamshire County Council is initiating a public procurement process titled "Emergency High Needs Framework," intended for services within the social work and related services category. This planned tender is focused on creating a new light-touch framework to provide emergency placements for children in care, family home support, and community crisis support across regions in the United Kingdom, including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK. The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with important dates including a future notice date set for 1st October 2025. The contract period is scheduled from 6th January 2026 to 5th January 2031.

Companies capable of providing tailored, flexible services across multiple regions in the UK would be well-positioned to compete. The introduction of a framework agreement suggests potential for ongoing collaboration. This can lead to sustained business with public authorities, thereby enhancing business stability and expanding operational scope in the social care sector.
