Date: Afternoon of Monday 4th March and Monday 11th March 2019 at Bernard Weatherill House, Mint Walk, Croydon, CR0 1EA. The London Borough of Croydon is inviting suitably qualified providers to participate in discussions with commissioners on proposals for commissioning supervised contact in Croydon.

There is also a duty to promote contact for children in need who are not living with their family, if this is in the interests of their welfare. Contact may be supervised, either at a designated contact centre provided for this purpose or in the community, as appropriate for each individual child and family. We would like to explore with existing and prospective providers our options for future commissioning of this service in Croydon, including: • The current position in Croydon • Service aims and requirements • Possible service delivery models • Indicative procurement timetable Discussions will inform the development and procurement of the service in 2019.
