EOI - Children's Residential Provision - Strategic Operating Partner (CSC252)

Torbay Council is in the planning stage of a procurement process titled "EOI - Children's Residential Provision - Strategic Operating Partner (CSC252)" in the welfare services industry category, specifically focused on welfare services for children and young people. The project aims to develop a new registered residential provision in Torbay, England, for young people with complex mental health needs and challenging behaviour. The engagement end date for this process is set for 18 February 2025.

The council seeks to establish a partnership with an external operating partner/provider through a competitive tender process. The expression of interest also serves to gauge market interest and inform the council’s capital funding application and future procurement activities. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in children's welfare services, especially those with experience in managing residential provisions for children with complex needs.

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, given the council’s focus on collaborative partnerships. Engaging with this tender can strengthen a company’s market presence and contribute to their growth by being part of a forward-looking initiative to support vulnerable young people in Torbay.
