NCS Trust Recommissioning Programme - Change to PIN
Notice Description
This notice is published to advertise a forthcoming market engagement exercise. This exercise relates to the recommission of the National Citizen Service Trust (NCS Trust) Programme contract. NCS Trust is implementing a new service delivery model across England to replace the current supplier contracts across residential, community and digital experiences. The model will also include affiliated services in associational and education settings that will, in part, service as access routes to these experiences. Through engaging in these experiences, young people will develop essential skills required for work and life. Experiences will be designed to increase confidence, resilience and wellbeing. They will ensure young people are engaged citizens who feel motivated to make a difference, and feel a sense of belonging, whatever their background. All NCS Trust experiences will enable social mixing of young people from different backgrounds. Experiences will also be shaped around three further objectives: support life skills and independent living; build employability and work readiness; and, provide opportunities for volunteering and social action. The overview of the experiences and services in the NCS Trust model is as follows: * Residential experiences - 4 night, 5 day residential experiences designed around one or more of the NCS Trust offer objectives, mainly in school holidays; * Community experiences - Activities designed around all of the NCS Trust offer objectives, delivered in a community, non-residential setting throughout the year as either a set programme across a number of weeks or a more fluid drop-in arrangement (NB: NCS Trust intends to explore and choose between these options through market engagement and testing); * Digital experiences - Self-guided learning and facilitated on-line sessions that focus primarily on the development of communication, leadership, problem-solving and emotional regulation skills plus practical skills relating to the NCS Trust offer objectives such as project planning, taking place year-round; and, * Affiliated services - Initiatives and resources for those in educational, group or specialist settings, which work towards NCS Trust outcomes and encourage future participation in the above services NCS Trust will conduct market engagement exercises with a series of webinars between 26 January 2022 and 03 February 2022, and a questionnaire will be required to be completed between 24 January 2022 and 03 February 2022.

"description": "NOTE: In section II.1.6) Information about lots (within this PIN) National Citizen Service Trust (NCS Trust) has not determined whether lots will apply. The market engagement exercise will provide good insight to enable the NCS Trust to recommend the final delivery model which may result in services being procured via lots. Further information will be provided during the market engagement exercises. NCS Trust has defined eight principles that its delivery model of the future must meet, based on our strategy, experience from past delivery, and commercial requirements: * Choice for young people - enabling young people to have more choice - between different types of experiences and different content themes on offer. * Co-creation and partnership - enabling partnerships with a diverse range of sector organisations and allow room for co-creation of NCS experiences. * Localised and place-based - prioritising working with locally relevant providers who can understand and respond to the needs of their specific community. * Quality of content and delivery for young people - enabling NCS Trust to appropriately set, drive, and monitor the quality of content and delivery against its priority outcomes for young people * Customer experience and journeys - maintaining a positive customer experience, with smooth navigation across different experiences. It should also enable additional support to be provided if young people need it to access NCS experiences. By customer, we are referring to both young people and their parents/guardians. * Feasibility - build upon existing practices and expertise so that delivery is possible within tight timeframes. * Affordability - must be affordable, enhance efficiencies, and prioritise spending on delivery of services. * Flexibility - enabling a more flexible approach to contracting in order to 'play to the strengths' of each organisation, enable continuous improvement, and allow room for innovation.",
