All Wales Local Authorities Looked After Children Foster Care Framework

Descriptions

An all Wales Framework Agreement for Children’s Placements in Foster Care will be implemented by Wales Local Authorities. Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council is acting on behalf of the following Wales Local Authorities to procure this framework: Blaenau Gwent County Borough CouncilBridgend County Borough CouncilCaerphilly County Borough CouncilCardiff CouncilCarmarthenshire County CouncilCeredigion County CouncilMerthyr Tydfil County Borough Council. Monmouthshire County Council, Neath Port Talbot County Borough CouncilNewport City CouncilPowys County CouncilRhondda Cynon Taf County Borough CouncilSwansea CouncilTorfaen County Borough CouncilVale of Glamorgan County Borough CouncilThe following Welsh Authorities may potentially use the Framework Agreement from the 1st May of each year that the framework is in place subject to entering into an agreement with the Procuring Authority:Isle of Anglesey County Council Conwy County Borough Council Denbighshire County Council Flintshire County Council Gwynedd Council Pembrokeshire County Council Wrexham County Borough Council The value of the proposed Framework Agreement has been calculated with reference to the historical spend of all of those named local authorities. It should be noted that it is up to each of the named individual local authorities to decide if and at what stage they may choose to place reliance on the proposed Framework Agreement and to this end the Council, as lead authority in this procurement, offers no guarantee of volume or value in respect of any future expenditure and further that the number of local authorities who decide to place reliance upon the proposed Framework Agreement may vary during the term of the same. Our expectation is that by providing greater business certainty to selected Foster Providers, Local Authorities will be better placed to achieve they're objectives to improve outcomes for looked after children; achieve better value for money and develop greater placement capacity. Local Authorities will always consider first whether a child can be matched with a placement provided by the Local Authority. Individual Placement Matching (IPM) will be used to match individual children to placements provided by those providers appointed to the proposed Framework Agreement. The proposed Framework Agreement will be divided into two main Lots, divided into regions, as set out below:Lot 1: Foster Care - South Wales RegionLot 2: Foster Care - North Wales RegionTenderers can bid for one or both Lots.The selection process for individual placement contracts will be described in the draft framework agreement, to be sent out to successful candidates with the invitation to tender.For the avoidance of doubt this is a voluntary OJEU Contract Notice and the process to be followed for the subsequent award of any framework agreement will not correspond to any process stipulated by the Public Contract Regulations (as amended).
