Summary of the contracting process

Norfolk County Council, a sub-central government public authority in the United Kingdom, has successfully completed the procurement process titled "Adoption Support". This contract involves providing therapeutic counselling services for adopted individuals, adoptive parents, and birth parents, including supportive information on adoption processes. The services are to be delivered within the Norfolk region, specifically in areas coded UKH15, UKH16, and UKH17.

The procurement process went through an open competition method below the threshold with a light-touch regime, culminating in an award on 25th July 2025 with the contract running from 5th August 2025 to 4th August 2026 and potentially extendable by a year. This tender represents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those in the health and social work services sector. The project required the engagement of an experienced provider with the ability to supply trained staff aware of the distinct needs of various service users, making it ideal for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) focusing on counselling or therapeutic services.

The involvement of ADOPTIONPLUS, a UK-based SME, as the supplier, highlights the competitive opportunities available for businesses aiming to expand their footprint in public sector service provisions. Companies capable of meeting the rigorous service delivery and workforce criteria set by Norfolk County Council would find such procurement processes as promising avenues for growth.
