Hampshire County Council invites experienced, quality Independent Fostering Agencies to tender for the delivery of standard foster placements and parent and child placements. The Council's commissioning strategy for children and family placements is to establish targeted contracts with a limited number of providers to build more effective relationships. This tender is for a Framework with two lots: Lot 1, standard foster placements including respite, and Lot 2, parent and child placements. We will be awarding a Framework Agreement to multiple providers across both lots. The Framework Agreement duration will be four years from 1 April 2017 until 31 March 2021.
