In plain English

Coventry City Council is reopening a regional framework for children's residential care homes across the West Midlands. They need care providers to supply residential placements for children in six different categories: planned care, crisis care, care with education, parenting assessments, therapeutic care, and care for children with disabilities.

What the buyer wants

• Operate and staff registered children's residential homes that meet DfE and Ofsted standards • Provide residential placements across one or more of six service types (planned, crisis, education-integrated, parenting assessment, therapeutic, and disability-focused) • Accept placements from any of the 14 West Midlands local authorities as they arise • Meet safeguarding, regulatory, and contractual requirements set out in the tender documents

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: This contract is for established residential care providers only: you must already be registered with Ofsted as a children's residential home, or be able to register within the contract timeframe. Small independent providers without existing registrations or regulatory credentials will struggle.

Always check the tender documents.
