Notice Title

Supporting Parents to Avoid Recurrent Care Proceedings

Notice Description

Norfolk County Council is intending to procure a service, to commence April 2023, aimed at supporting vulnerable parents in Norfolk who have experienced care proceedings leading to the removal of children from their care. The procurement will be delivering against Public Health and Children's Social Care priorities with agreed targets and deliverables. The service should be responsive to demand, acknowledging that while the highest levels of need are most likely to be in Norfolk's urban hubs (Norwich, King's Lynn and Great Yarmouth) support will also need to be accessible to service users in more rural areas such as Breckland, South and North Norfolk. There are numerous, complex reasons that can lead to a family experiencing the removal of a child/children and we want to see fewer children coming in to care with fewer parents experiencing the loss associated with children being removed. The delivery partner will need to have a thorough knowledge of, and skilled approaches to address, the range of challenges these parents face; and be able to engage not only with people on an individual basis, but work in a way that sees them integrate with the existing infrastructure of support across our county. The work is likely to be a mix of direct delivery, group work and partnership working; supporting parents to engage with other skilled or specialist services where necessary. The service will need to be committed to supporting vulnerable parents to overcome persistent and enduring challenges, using approaches and techniques that will help them make the incremental changes that lead to significant progress over time. The intention is to let a contract for a period of up to 4-years, working in close partnership with the Local Authority delivering to a specific, eligible group of parents. The maximum potential value across the contract term is likely to be in the region of PS1.2m. If you are interested in this opportunity please express an interest.
