Lot Information

Lot 1

The Scottish Government (SG), on behalf of the Scottish Ministers wanted to commission an evaluation of the Distress Brief Intervention (DBI) for Under 18s. DBI is an intervention designed to improve the response for young people presenting to front line services in distress. This follows on from previous work to develop and evaluate a similar programme in over 18s. The aim of the work specified here is to provide the Scottish Government and DBI stakeholders with timely, robust information on the implementation, uptake, delivery, and outcomes of the existing programme with young people and to inform subsequent roll out on a wider scale across Scotland. This specification sets out what is required, provides background information on the DBI for Under 18s programme, and suggestions on method, but bidders may propose alternative methods for carrying out this work within the available budget and timescale.

Options: This is a 4 month contract with the Contract start date of 29th November 2023. There will be the opportunity to extend this contract for a further 14 months at Scottish Ministers discretion

Renewal: Following the end of the initial contract period of 5 months the contract maybe extended by 13 months.
