About
Cambridgeshire County Council awarded a contract to 4D Care Ltd, Acorn Care and Education Limited, Alliance Foster Care, Amberleigh Care, Anglia Fostering Agency Ltd, Banya Family Placement Ltd, BDP Social Care Ltd, Break, Brighter Futures Foster Care, and Bryn Mel for the provision of children's external placements under a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS).
The DPS covers four lots: Independent Fostering Agencies (IFA), Residential Children's Homes, Independent Schools and Education Providers (ISEP), and Out of School Tuition (OoST).
Services are available to children and young people aged 0-18 (up to 19 for those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) in Cambridgeshire, neighbouring authorities, and nationally where directed by care plans.
The DPS was established for an initial term of five years from 1 April 2019 to 31 March 2024, with options to extend for two years, then another two years, and finally one year, up to a maximum of ten years.
The anticipated spend across Cambridgeshire County Council and Peterborough City Council for the duration of the DPS is £470,184,791.00.
The authorities intend to reduce this spend through the application of the new DPS, improving outcomes for individual children and the use of mini competitions within the DPS over its lifetime.
