In plain English
Devon County Council is setting up a Flexible Purchasing System (FPS) to provide Adoption Support Services, including therapeutic support, over a 4-year period from December 2023 to November 2027. Organizations can apply to join the framework at any time, and once accepted, will be invited to bid for specific service contracts through mini-competitions.
What the buyer wants
• Provide adoption support services, including therapeutic support for families and children involved in adoption • Deliver services both within and outside the scope of the Adoption Support Fund • Participate in a two-stage process: first, meet selection criteria to be added to the approved supplier list; second, bid for specific service contracts when invited
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
This contract is unlikely to be accessible to most small tradespeople (builders, electricians, cleaners) as it requires specialized expertise in adoption support, therapeutic services, and child welfare, not general trades.
How to bid
This is a framework: the buyer picks a set of suppliers now and awards work to them over several years. If you are not on it when it is awarded, you usually cannot win work from it until it is re-tendered, so this is the window to bid.
