It also seeks to enable the type of agile responses that brought partners together in the pandemic to respond quickly and effectively to future health and wellbeing issues. The enablers of improved outcomes and reduced inequalities include a dedicated focus on system leadership, co-production, evaluation and culturally appropriate communication resulting in an innovative child-centred service that meets local need. This element will also support the service to deliver community benefits which will include work-experience, mentoring and apprenticeships (with a focus on children in care, young people with care experience and older children outside mainstream education) Engagement work to date has highlighted that these activities are wished for but may be seen as an additional burden on top of day-to-day delivery of services. This element aims to invest in capacity to maximise community benefit and social value and will drive service development in the other elements of the service, to ensure that the whole service continues to evolve in response to community needs. By delineating it as a discrete service element with committed investment, the delivery of providers' social value pledges at tender stage can be more rigorously assured through contract management processes The successful provider will enter into contract with Tower Hamlets utilising their standard T&Cs (included in tender pack) for an initial term of 3 years, with a maximum optional extension of 4 years.
