YPO are looking for Providers to be appointed onto a Framework Agreement for the

provision of services for the permanent recruitment of children’s social workers within

London. The Framework is designed to meet the needs of all Local Authorities within London

only, by establishing an agreement where the end customer will place the order with the

Provider and the Provider delivers direct to the end customer.

This is a new Framework being developed by Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation (YPO) in

partnership with London Councils (London Councils) and London Innovation & Improvement

Alliance (LIIA) on behalf of the Association of Directors of Children’s Services (ALDCS). The

Framework is being developed for the London region specifically to support the recruitment

of permanent children’s social workers, and corresponding management and leadership

roles, within the London Boroughs
