Lot Information
Lot 1
Barnardo's and Children's First are existing providers with NAC and have long been key contributors to delivering ADP strategic priorities. Both organisations provide vital community based support to children and families, with a strong focus on early intervention for those at the initial stages of alcohol or drug use. Their dedicated staff deliver whole family trauma recovery support, one to one and group work for children, young people, parents and carers, peer support opportunities, and intensive family support. This redirection of CASST funding strengthens their ability to continue offering these essential services.
Procurement Information
Need for supplier continuity whereby a change in supplier would be detrimental to the service users. North Ayrshire ADP have working in partnership with Children First and Barnardo's for over 10 years. Redirecting funding to Children's First and Barnardo's will allow two services already in operation to increase capacity in the anticipation of a higher number of referrals. These measures would help to sustain current services and ensure continuity in the landscape of support for children and families.
