Independent Fostering Agency Framework

London Borough of Bromley · Local authority

In brief

It is a framework worth up to £27,160,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 4 years, starting 1 September 2026.

The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

Can I win this?

Competition

Typical: a median of 5 bids per contract for this buyer (from 15 awards in the last 12 months).

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £27,160,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.
