Can I win this?

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £433,333,332 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

The Children’s Commissioning Consortium Cymru (4Cs) are undertaking market engagement in relation to the future development of the All-Wales Foster Framework. This engagement is aimed at foster care providers who are not currently appointed to the framework, organisations considering entering the Welsh market, and other interested stakeholders. The event will provide an opportunity to gain insight into future commissioning opportunities, market conditions, and the evolving fostering landscape across Wales. Engagement Event Details Date: 28 September 2026 Time: 1:00pm to 5:00pm Location: Clayton Hotel, Cardiff Audience: Non-framework providers and potential new market entrants To register a place copy the following link into your internet browser: https://www.tickettailor.com/events/4cs/2380822
