Hampshire seeks IFAs for children with disabilities and complex healthcare needs.
Hampshire County Council's Children Services Directorate is commissioning independent fostering agencies (IFAs) to support looked after children. The multi-lot call-off covers standard foster placements including respite, parent and child placements, children with complex/challenging behaviours, children with disabilities/complex healthcare needs, and separated children. Priority is given to securing Hampshire placements to maintain education, training, contact, and support networks. The call-off is open for the contract's life, allowing new suppliers to join at any time and existing suppliers to apply for additional lots. The Council aims to evaluate submissions within three weeks.
