Description

Staffordshire County Council is seeking to engage Suppliers who deliver support to Children and Young People in their Education Settings and in their communities, throughout the eight districts of Staffordshire: Cannock, East Staffordshire, Tamworth, Lichfield, South Staffordshire, Stafford, Newcastle-under-Lyme, and Staffordshire Moorlands. Provision will be aligned to the Council's priority outcomes and commissioning priorities and the Framework will include 3 Lots; Lot 1. Targeted Intervention Programmes Lot 2. Skill Development Lot 3. Specialist Support This provision will predominantly support Children and Young People who are unable to engage positively with education, either individually or in groups. However, some provision will also be targeted to support the Education Settings, Parents/ Carers and Families in their support of Children and Young People. The Framework will host a range of quality assured Services which will be available for the Council to Call-off as and when required. It is expected a high volume of the support required will be for Children and Young People who are known to their SEND & Inclusion Hubs, although it is recognised Children and Young People who are supported by other Council services, could benefit from the provision on the Framework. This support will be pre-determined by the Referrer/ Funder of the Service and will be made clear during the Call-off process by the Council. For the avoidance of doubt this Procurement is for a Framework Agreement ('Framework') between the appointed Provider(s) and the Authority, to deliver Services, as and when required. The Authority makes no guarantee as to the volume of business on offer or that the Provider(s) will be required to deliver any Services at all. Provider(s) will only undertake Services if awarded a Call-off Contract in accordance with the process set out in the Framework. This Procurement is also for a 'Flexible Framework Agreement' which will be commissioned under the Light Touch Regime (implemented through Regulations 74-77 of the Public Contract Regulations 2015).

Lot Division

Targeted Intervention Programmes

Targeted Intervention Programmes will be bespoke Support Packages for Children, Young People and their Families. Programmes could be delivered through workshops, 1:1 sessions/ programmes, training, therapeutic support, mentoring/ coaching or group work. Support Packages will offer the Child, Young Person or Service Users strategies to support them to understand and adapt in their environment. A non-judgemental environment in which the individual is given the opportunity to reflect on their current situation, which opens the door to early intervention, will be adopted. These programmes will be tailored based on the needs and aspirations of the Service User; this could include (but is not limited to): • Building relationships, with friends, Family and peers. • Emotional regulation/ resilience. • Supporting transition. • Improving self-esteem. • Support around the Family, e.g coping with parental separation. • Behaviour support, e.g anti-knife crime and gang affiliation. • Trauma based programmes. • Parenting support. • Bereavement and loss support. • Alternative support/ therapy, e.g art, play, music. • Self-development and independence. • Inclusion programmes.

Other Information

This Flexible Framework Agreement differs from those set up under the non-light touch regime in that the Council MAY exercise its flexibility to 'open' the Flexible Framework Agreement for Providers to submit applications to join, throughout the Term of the Framework at set points in time. Particularly if it needs to increase the capacity or respond to emerging needs. If the Council decides to open the Flexible Framework Agreement for applications, it will do so on the same Terms and Conditions and on the same criteria. Interested Suppliers should register on the Council's e-tendering system https://supplierlive.proactisp2p.com/Account/Login where the tender documents will be made available if the Framework is re-opened.
