Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Havering is planning a procurement process titled "Children Placement Framework," focusing on services within the health and social work industry category. This initiative, characterised by a light-touch procurement regime, involves establishing a framework or dynamic purchasing system for foster care, children's residential care, and home provision for individuals aged 0 to 19, and up to 25 years with Special Educational Needs (SEN).

The contracting process is in the planning stage, with significant dates including the published Pipeline Notice on 23 May 2025 and a future notice anticipated on 1 September 2025.
