Description

The Scottish Government has a requirement to place a contract with an external Service Provider for the provision of Scotland’s Adoption Register. Provision of Scotland’s Adoption Register is set out in The Scotland’s Adoption Register Regulations 2016 and comprises an online Register and national matching service that allows social workers to share information about children who have a plan for adoption with approved adopters in Scotland. The contract will be for a period of 24 months.

Total Quantity or Scope

The Adoption Register plays a key role in providing opportunities for children and prospective adopters to come together through hosting events such as adoption exchange days and adoption activity days. The Register also offers direct advice to local authorities about family finding for individual children or sibling groups. The aim is to enable adopters to be part of the process of linking with a child, to encourage them to consider children they may not previously have thought about adopting, and ultimately to create new families. … Additional information: Economic operators may be excluded from this competition if they are in any of the situations referred to in regulation 58 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015.
