Description

Tenders are invited for inclusion on a Rolling Select List of approved, quality assured providers of Social Care Community Support intended to facilitate the provision of:

o Support for Children open to Social Care's Disabled Children and Young People's Team (DCYP) (Lot 1)
o Social Care Support for children (Lot 2)
o Crisis Support for children (Lot 3)
o Supervised Family Time Support (Lot 4)

Lot 1 is expected to provide support within a family or residential setting, by staff trained to provide personal care and administer medication. The children may be physically disabled, be neurodivergent, have specific sensory/communication needs, have learning disabilities and/or life limiting illnesses.

Lot 2 is expected to proactively support children within their family home, enabling reunification and preventing admission into care.

Lot 3 is expected to support children in care at short notice (e.g., to prevent emergency or admissions into care) following placement breakdowns. The children may have a history of criminal exploitation, behavioural and emotional dysregulation, mental health issues and/or neurodivergence. The support will take place in a residential setting and may exceed 28 days duration.

Lot 4 is expected to provide suitably trained staff to carry out Family Time sessions following Suffolk County Council's Family Time protocols.

Providers can apply to join the Rolling Select List or amend which lots they have bid for at any time, however their applications once the Rolling Select List is live will only be considered on an annual basis. An overview of the process and the anticipated timescales can be found at Appendix A to the Invitation to Participate document. Bidders will be notified no later than the end of the calendar month following submission of their Request to Participate. E.g., if the submission is received in January, then bidders should be notified by the end of February. This Rolling Select List complies with the Light Touch Regime under the Public Contract Regulations 2015.
