CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE FOSTER CARE Flexible Purchasing System (FPS)
Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
Trafford Council has issued a tender for the development of a Flexible Purchasing System (FPS) to commission high-quality fostering placements for children and young people. This project, valued at £1.1 billion, falls under the Health and Social Work Services industry category. The contract will be implemented across England, United Kingdom, and aims to begin on 1st April 2025, ending on 31st March 2028.
Currently in the tender stage, proposals must be submitted by 7th March 2025 at 17:00 GMT. The procurement method selected is a restricted procedure, ensuring that only pre-qualified suppliers will be invited to bid. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in fostering services, particularly those capable of introducing sustainable, transformative, and innovative practices.
Companies experienced in collaborating with local authorities and broader community partners to support children in developing resilience and skills for adulthood will find this contract particularly beneficial. Although not specifically targeted at SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), larger and more established service providers with a proven track record in high-quality child care provision will be well-suited to compete.
The North West Local Authorities are developing a Flexible Purchasing System (FPS) to facilitate the commissioning of high quality Fostering Placements for Children and Young People. We are looking to knowledgeable and experienced providers to work with us to transform the lives of children, enabling them to break down barriers and turn challenging situations into positive ones. Through the FPS we are looking for sustainability, transformation and innovation with providers and Local Authorities and wider partners to work together to ensure each one of our children has the capacity, skills, independence and resilience they will need to meet the challenges of adult life in the 21st century.
