## Summary

The Bradford Children & Families Trust is conducting a procurement process through an Open Framework Agreement titled "Provision for the Family Time Supervision." This tender falls under the social work industry category, and aims to provide support for family time between children in care and their family members. The procurement is active, currently in the tender stage, and split into two Lots: Lot 1 ‘In District’ and Lot 2 ‘Out of District’. With a forecasted term of 8 years, the Trust anticipates reopening the framework at least once every three years following the Procurement Act 2023 guidelines. The submission deadline is set for 18th March 2026, with the contract periods commencing on 1st July 2026 and extending through to 30th June 2034.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses in the social work sector, particularly for SMEs and VCSEs, by allowing providers to contribute to meaningful interactions for children in care. The project demands a focus on quality service delivery, offering a complete framework agreement with a procurement process following the open procedure. Successful bidders, who need to score a minimum quality threshold at the Pre-Selection Questionnaire stage, will find ample opportunities to expand their operational reach either within or outside the Bradford district. The emphasis on child-centred, safe and cost-effective family time supervision aligns well with experienced social work service providers looking to enhance their practice and engage with governmental work.
