    Brief

    Southend is seeking a Subject Matter Expert to conduct a comprehensive feasibility study and develop a detailed proposal for establishing in-house children's homes. The objective is to reduce the local authority's significant overspend on external residential placements. The successful contractor will assess operational, financial, and regulatory requirements, evaluate current market conditions, identify best practices, and provide strategic recommendations for implementation. This study will inform decision-making on whether to establish council-run children's homes as a cost-effective alternative to external provision. Budget allocation: £45,000.
