In plain English

Suffolk County Council is building a list of approved suppliers to provide social care support services for children, including personal care and supervision. Suppliers can join this rolling list at any time, and the council will call off work from it as needed. This is not a traditional tender but an open, ongoing registration process.

What the buyer wants

• Provide support for disabled children and young people in family or residential settings, including personal care and medication administration (Lot 1) • Offer proactive support to children in their own homes to prevent them entering the care system (Lot 2) • Deliver crisis support in residential settings for children in care at short notice, including those with behavioural, mental health or exploitation issues (Lot 3) • Supply trained staff to deliver supervised family visits following the council's protocols (Lot 4)

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

This is social care work. You must have staff with relevant training, DBS clearance, and safeguarding policies in place; sole traders without a team and proper governance structures will struggle to meet the quality standards.

How to bid

This is a Dynamic Purchasing System: an open list of approved suppliers. You can apply to join at any time while it runs, and once accepted you can bid for the individual contracts the buyer runs through it.
