    Brief

    This is a call-off opportunity for the supply of fostering services through an Independent Fostering Agency. Organizations selected to this framework will provide professional foster care placements and associated support services for children in need. The framework reopens the Select List in 2025, allowing eligible fostering agencies to register for potential work. Services typically include recruitment and training of foster carers, matching of children to suitable placements, supervision and support to foster families, and coordination with local authorities and other agencies. This is an opportunity for independent fostering providers to join the approved supplier list and be available for call-off contracts.
