    "description": "Birmingham Children\u0027s Trust  requires a supplier for the RAA Branding and Website Design .\r\n      \r\n      Adopt Birmingham is the children\u0027s adoption service for Birmingham Children\u0027s Trust. Adopt Birmingham was launched in January 2022 after a collaborative arrangement with a Voluntary Adoption Agency (VAA) to establish and co-deliver the Regional Adoption Agency (RAA). The focus of the RAA is that children are given the earliest opportunity of finding a family with timely matching and placement of all children including priority children for whom it is harder to find adopters. There is also a focus on adoption support and a need to move away from piecemeal services and potential gaps in provision, towards consistent, effective and easy to access adoption support services.\r\n      \r\n      The purpose of Adopt Birmingham is to deliver the complete range of adoption functions across the Birmingham region - adoption recruitment, matching and support functions.  This collaboration between a Trust and a VAA partner to deliver an RAA, is the first of its kind and signifies a new and innovative way of working. The combined strengths of the partners are expected to create opportunities for innovation, greater efficiency, high quality services and improved outcomes for children and families.\r\n      \r\n      The Trust\u0027s adoption service is rated as Good by Ofsted, and the Trust also employs its own adoption workforce.\r\n      \r\n      The primary target audience for this website will be prospective adopters aged 27 - 50, most tend to fall into socioeconomic grouping C1 and above (however not solely) and be employed in a professional capacity.  Their expectations of website functionality are high and contemporary design features will be expected. Existing sector data identified a bias towards females as the initial engagement maker.\r\n      \r\n      Service user feedback suggests a need to show:\r\n      o the stages of the adoption process and the support that is available in a simple and visually impactful way\r\n      o the \u0027localness\u0027 of the service. \r\n      \r\n      This contract will be for a period of 3 years commencing 1st April 2025 until 31st March 2028.  \r\n      \r\n      The Trust will be using its free to use e-tendering system (in-tend) for the administration of this procurement process and potential suppliers must register with the system to be able to express an interest.
