This initiative will be managed electronically through Norfolk County Council’s e-procurement system.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in health and social services, particularly those with experience in counselling and support for adoption processes.
Companies with a robust infrastructure to provide trained and skilled staff, adaptive support mechanisms, and a clear referral process will be well-suited to compete. In addition to service delivery within Norfolk, there may be requirements for out-of-county provisions, enhancing the reach and impact for successful providers.

In addition, the service will need to provide information and support around understanding the processes for adoption including signposting to other services.The successful provider must ensure that safely recruited and appropriately trained staff can recognise and adapt to the needs of the different service users. They must also provide an appropriate referral mechanism, working with the local authority to confirm eligibility and provide suitable materials to ensure potential users are aware of the service. Additional information: The market engagement event will take place on Friday 21st February on MS Teams (this date may be subject to change). Interested parties will need to register their interest on In-Tend and a separate invite will be sent.
