In plain English
Newcastle City Council is looking for a provider to carry out medical assessments of people applying to become foster carers or kinship carers, and to write the supporting medical advisor reports that the council uses in its decisions. The work is clinical, so the provider needs qualified medical professionals to do the assessments and write the reports.
What the buyer wants
• Carry out medical assessments for prospective and approved fostering and kinship carers in Newcastle • Produce a written medical advisor report for each assessment, in the format the council requires, within agreed timescales • Work with council social workers and fostering teams, and keep records secure and confidential
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
A provider without enough GMC-registered doctors able to carry out assessments in Newcastle within the required timescales, or without enhanced DBS checks and safeguarding arrangements in place, would be unlikely to win.
How to bid
This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
