The Leaving Care Mentoring Service is not a statutory requirement under the Children’s Act.\nIt is KCC's intention to award the contract for up to 3 years, to begin in April  2022.\nA set of soft market engagement questions and an opportunity to comment on the proposals at an engagement event, held on a one-to-one basis, will be available to those who express an interest via the Kent Business Portal.\nKent County Council is committed to ensuring fairness, openness and transparency and to following EU procurement regulations.
