Regional Care Co-operatives Pathfinder Delivery Partner

This PIN is for market engagement only. It does not signify the commencement of any procurement process and does not constitute any commitment by the Department for Education. If the Department for Education decides to commence any procurement process as contemplated by this notice, a separate notice will be published at the relevant time. The requirements and values set out below may be subject to change. Regional Care Co-operative (RCC) pathfinders will be delivered in partnership with local authorities in two regions to test a new approach to planning, delivering and commissioning placements for looked after children. A co-design process with local authorities will shape the exact model and approach taken in each region; on a national level we will convene an expert advisory group to provide specialist insight and expertise on areas including governance, funding flows and data/forecasting. We will be holding an initial market engagement session to talk about the service requirements and seek feedback via 45-minute 1-2-1 meetings on 17th and 20th April. A question and answer log will be circulated after all sessions have taken place via the commercial Jaggaer system. To confirm your attendance please email kady.billington-murphy@education.gov.uk.
