    "This procurement is for the establishment of a framework agreement for the provision of independent fostering agency services across sixteen (16) local authorities that comprise the South-Central IFA Framework consortium. This ITT is to establish a Framework Agreement between Southampton City Council (on behalf of the South-Central IFA Framework consortium) and those tenderers successful in their applications to be accepted on to the framework to enable the provision of foster care placements in accordance with the terms of the framework agreement. The consortium have the following needs from independent fostering agency placements:
    Foster carers for children of all ages, but particularly for older children aged 10-15 years. Foster carers who can meet higher levels of need, complexity and risk.

    Foster carers who care for parent and child placements
    Foster carers who can care for disabled children- especially with adapted homes. Some will have complex medical needs and some may have a limited life expectancy.
    Foster carers who are registered for only one child to meet the need for solo placements.
    Foster carers who can care for Unaccompanied Asylum Seekers and with an awareness/willingness to work in partnership to meet their immediate immigration, health and educational needs.
    In addition, the Councils are particularly looking for local, well-matched placements, including education provision, and with commitment to the best interests of the child.
    Enhanced fostering care placements for children and young people with higher levels of need.
    The Framework is comprised of the following 4 Lots:
    Lot 1 (Standard Placements 0+ Years)

    Lot 3 (Parent and Child Placements)
    Lot 4 (Enhanced Fostering Placements)
