The brief

Buckinghamshire Council has a statutory responsibility to offer an independent Return Home Interview (RHI) when a child goes missing from home or care, and this should take place within 72 hours of the child safely returning home.

The purpose of the RHI is to uncover information that can help reduce the risk of the child going missing again and protect them from risks they may have been exposed to while missing or from risk factors in their home.

Suppliers are invited to participate in this exercise by completing the attached questionnaire.

This will help the Council engage with suppliers who have experience in this market to help it refine the requirements of any potential future procurement exercise and would like to hear their views.

The Request for Information (RFI) documents for this opportunity are published on the Council's procurement portal: https://in-tendhost.co.uk/buckinghamshire-council.

These documents include all relevant details about the project and outline the information we are seeking from the supplier market.

If you wish to participate and have not yet registered, please ensure you do so via the portal in order to access the documentation.

The RFI will remain open until 12:00 noon (midday) on Monday 19th May 2026.
