Stockton Borough Council awarded a contract to Adoption Matters, ARC Adoption North East, Barnardo's, and PACT for the provision of Independent Birth Parent Support and Access to Records services.

The contract covers support for birth parents of children with an adoption plan or who are adopted in Tees Valley, in accordance with the Adoption Support Agencies Regulations 2005, as well as support, counselling, and advice regarding access to adoption records for adult adoptees and birth relatives.

The award followed a quotation process that identified four providers, including the incumbent, for evaluation; only the incumbent submitted a bid, and the decision was based on an evaluation of quality and price within the budget of £90,000.
