    Brief

    Hampshire County Council's Children Services Directorate is seeking Independent Fostering Agencies (IFAs) to provide foster care placements for looked after children. This multi-lot call-off framework covers five types of placements: Standard Foster Placements (including Respite Care), Parent & Child Foster Placements, placements for Children with Complex or Challenging Behaviours, placements for Children with Disabilities or Complex Healthcare Needs, and support for Separated Children. The Council prioritises securing local placements for Hampshire children and young people to support their education, training, family contact, and existing support networks. This is an open call-off arrangement where new suppliers can apply to join at any time during the contract life, and existing suppliers can apply to provide additional lot types. Suppliers adding lots should resubmit their award questionnaire with the additional lot selections and provide a separately dated pricing schedule for new lots only to avoid pricing confusion. The Council aims to evaluate new and additional lot submissions within 3 weeks.
