Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "Supporting Parents to Build Resilience & Self-Help Strategies" is being conducted by Kent County Council, focusing on health and social work services. Currently at the planning stage, this initiative aims to establish a dedicated team to support parents of children potentially requiring additional assistance related to Autistic Spectrum Condition. The expression of interest (EOI) period is open from 15:00 on 28th May 2021 until 15:00 on 25th June 2021, with a planned future notice date of 19th July 2021. Responses to this tender should be sent through the Kent Business Portal, with comprehensive information available in the attached documents.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses that specialise in health and social services, particularly those with experience in delivering parent support programmes and interventions related to autism. Companies that can provide innovative approaches to pre-diagnosis and early intervention services, as well as those skilled in facilitating group sessions and workshops, would be well-suited to compete in this process. Engagement with local multi-agency support systems and the ability to incorporate the lived experiences of parents in service delivery could provide a competitive advantage in this tender.

Lot Information

Lot 1

Kent County Council is proposing a new Supporting Parents Model that will aim to build resilience and self-help strategies for those parents who are concerned their child may require some additional support, linked to Autistic Spectrum Condition (ASC). The Model suggests a new dedicated team is developed that includes parents as co-facilitators, therefore sharing their lived-experience to support other parents in similar situations. The scope of the proposed new service aims to address the issues raised by parents regarding the need for more neurodevelopmental related early intervention, pre-diagnosis and self-help support for parents alongside the evidence-based Programmes, such as Cygnet, Early Bird, Triple P, etc. The expectation will be to work closely with partners across the county to ensure a wraparound offer is delivered in addition to services currently on offer. All delivered with Parent Co-Facilitators at the heart. There will be two key strands to the Offer, both strands delivered with the lived experience of Parent-Co-Facilitators: a) Early Intervention/Pre-diagnosis: To deliver a range of 1:1 and group sessions each week that focus on building resilience and self-help strategies for Parents who are concerned their child may require some additional support, linked to Autistic Spectrum Condition. covering the following: o Self-help parent peer support groups focussing on encouraging Parents to build relationships with other local parents. o 1:1 Family Advice sessions and Workshops focussing on particular issues relating to the child/young person, using a 'mixed toolbox'. o Signpost to other local multi-agency support, advice, supporting materials such as videos, books, etc b) Post- Diagnosis: o To deliver evidence-based Programmes across the County. Examples of evidence-based Programmes specific to Autism Awareness such as Cygnet, Early Bird/Early Bird Plus, Triple P, etc. Flexibility to offer a blend of face to face and virtual sessions. o Continue to support as above with Parent Support Groups, 1:1 Family Advice Sessions and Workshops where necessary using a 'mixed toolbox'. o Signposting to other multi-agency support, advice, etc. Kent County Council is committed to ensuring fairness, openness, and transparency, and to following procurement regulations.
