Tender description

East Sussex County Council and Brighton and Hove City Council ("the Council") currently holds an approved list of providers (the "Approved List") for the provision of Independent Providers of Foster Care Services for 4 years, with an option to extend this by a further 2 years and is seeking to further add to this by reopening the approved list to offer opportunity for providers within the market to apply to join.

The Council(s) do not guarantee any minimum level of referral activity via this List and reserves the right to utilise alternative routes for comparable provision if required.

About the buyer

East Sussex County Council buys as a local government organisation through Orbis Procurement, a shared service with Surrey County Council and Brighton & Hove City Council. Contracts above a set value are advertised on the Proactis Supplier Network, the council's main tenders site. Larger opportunities also appear on the government's Find a Tender service. Purchase orders and payments run through SAP, the council's purchase-to-pay system, with suppliers paid by BACS. Procurement sits in three categories, People, Place, and Corporate, IT and Governance, each with its own Procurement Partner. An Orbis Joint Committee oversees the partnership's shared procurement service.

UK local government drives £140bn in annual procurement, led by social protection (£66.6bn) and education (£57.1bn).

Over the past 5 years, most of East Sussex County Council's contract awards have been in transport services, construction work and transport equipment.
