    "description": "Coventry City Council is seeking a Provider to deliver a Regulation 44 Service to the current suite of internal homes. Regulation 44 visitors shall be recruited, selected, assessed, supported and appointed in accordance with the provisions of the Safer Recruitment and Retention of staff and associated statutory guidance and regulations. The Regulation 44 visitor will be expected to visit each home once a month auditing the service offered to our children ensuring they inspect in line with the three areas of inspection (the effectiveness of the leadership and managers, how well young people are helped and protected, and the overall experience and progress of young people) and  the Children\u0027s Homes (England) Regulations 2015. The Regulation 44 visitor will need to collate the findings within a report and follow a process to circulate the findings to the Children\u0027s Residential Home\u0027s Registered Manager and Ofsted. Following the visit the Regulation 44 visitor will be required to track trends across the internal homes. \nNo Pre-Market Engagement Notice was published, and a Prior Information Notice (PIN) was published on the 14th January 2025 prior to the introduction of the Procurement Act 2023. The PIN described the contract requirement and invited providers to contact the council for discussion reference contract terms and contract period and provider pricing. Market engagement was held on 13th March 2025.  Items discussed including contract length and pricing terms.",

Since February 2010, Coventry; Solihull; Warwickshire; Nuneaton and Bedworth; Rugby alongside other local district Councils have been working together as a shared procurement service. In conjunction with Solihull Community Housing, we have joined together to bring you a collaborative E-Tendering portal. CSW-JETS enables us to advertise our opportunities across all authorities through the same system. This means that there is a single point of contact for procurement in the sub-region so you only have to register once to receive notifications for all authorities. Registering on the portal will make it easier for local suppliers to find, respond to and be alerted to tender opportunities.\nRegistration is free, and takes just a few minutes. When complete, you will be able to express interest in any of the Councils\u0027/Authorities\u0027 opportunities when they are made available including this tender. In addition, we will be able to access your details whenever we have a requirement, and you may then be invited to tender or quote for work. Once you are registered and log in to the system you will be able to locate the tender opportunity, express interest and access the documentation.",
