Children's Residential Care Framework (Re-opening)

This opportunity invites tenders from Providers of Residential Homes, evidenced by an Ofsted rating of 'Requires Improvement to to be Good' or better, to provide placements for children and young people. The children or young people may have needs, such as, severe disabilities and/or complex health needs and/or challenging behaviour. There will be, for some children and young people, a plan designed around moving the child or young person to foster care or a return home (Reunification). It is possible that children and young people will have experienced placement breakdowns and/or abuse and/or neglect and/or loss and may demonstrate offending and/or challenging behaviours and/or be emotionally vulnerable.

This Framework commenced on 1st October 2018 for a period of four years with the option to extend for a further two years. The contract value published in this notice is for the maximum framework term. This re-opening offers the opportunity for new providers to join the framework, and existing framework providers to include new/additional homes.

Interested parties should register their interest in the project via the In-Tend website https://in-tendhost.co.uk/hampshire, and complete and submit the tender return document together with any supporting information requested by 14:00 on Monday 1 August 2022
