COV - Supervised Contact 2020

Supervised Child Contact is a statutory service (under Schedule 2 Children Act 1989) which places a duty on Local Authorities to enable Children in Need (CIN) and Looked after Children (LAC), to maintain contact with parents, birth families, and siblings.

The service must deliver a detailed recording of all contact sessions, which contributes to the assessments undertaken by local authority social workers to support of care proceedings for individual children. All contact sessions must be actively managed to ensure they are delivered safely, and in a way that identifies and mitigates safeguarding risks in relation to both the children and adults.

Premises shall not be provided by the Council and are a key aspect of the successful providers delivering these services within the City of Coventry. Consideration of this must be demonstrated within your response to the ITT.

Additional information: Please register via the Council`s e-procurement system - CSW-JETS http://www.csw-jets.co.uk/

CSW-JETS is a sub-regional e-tendering portal run by In-tend. Since February 2010, Coventry; Solihull; Warwickshire; Nuneaton and Bedworth; Rugby alongside other local district Councils have been working together as a shared procurement service. In conjunction with Solihull Community Housing, we have joined together to bring you a collaborative E-Tendering portal.

CSW-JETS enables us to advertise our opportunities across all authorities through the same system. This means that there is a single point of contact for procurement in the sub-region so you only have to register once to receive notifications for all authorities. Registering on the portal will make it easier for local suppliers to find, respond to and be alerted to tender opportunities.

Registration is free, and takes just a few minutes. When complete, you will be able to express interest in any of the Councils'/Authorities' opportunities when they are made available including this tender. In addition, we will be able to access your details whenever we have a requirement, and you may then be invited to tender or quote for work.

Once you are registered and log in to the system you will be able to locate the tender opportunity, express interest and access the documentation.
