## Summary

Nottinghamshire County Council is in the planning stage of a procurement process concerning the provision of a Therapeutic Services Framework for children who are adopted and those placed under special guardianship orders. This initiative, hosted by Adoption East Midlands, aims to deliver services that ensure positive outcomes for families across multiple regions in the United Kingdom, including areas such as UKC, UKD, UKE, and UKF, among others. The framework falls under the "Social work and related services" industry category, and is primarily a services procurement. Important dates include a future notice date set for 31st August 2026, with the contract period planned to commence on 1st September 2027 and conclude on 31st August 2031.

This opportunity heralds significant prospects for companies specializing in social work and therapeutic services, particularly those with a focus on adoption and family support interventions. The framework agreement is well-suited for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) given their ability to deliver targeted and high-quality services. Engaging in this procurement could not only expand their service portfolio but also strengthen their market presence across the mentioned UK regions, fostering growth and sustainability in delivering vital support services to local communities.

## Notice

Adoption East Midlands (AEM), is a Regional Adoption Agency hosted by Nottinghamshire County Council, delivering adoption services for 4 Local Authorities - Derbyshire County Council, Derby City Council, Nottinghamshire County Council and Nottingham City Council.
