About

Coventry City Council is seeking Independent Fostering Agencies to join the re-opened West Midlands Independent Fostering Agency Framework to provide foster care services across the West Midlands region; the framework, led by Coventry City Council, can be accessed by 14 West Midlands local authorities and trusts and invites Tenderers to bid for one or more Lots, with providers already on the framework able to apply to be added to additional Lot(s). Each Independent Fostering Agency must submit its own individual tender associated with its Ofsted unique reference number, and bids from umbrella organisations covering multiple Independent Fostering Agencies will not be accepted. Tender documents can be downloaded from Coventry City Council's e-tendering website www.csw-jets.co.uk.
