A significant element of this work is the development and implementation of our new multi-agency safeguarding hub (MASH). This new team will essentially be our front door to Children's Services, and will ensure that contacts and referrals meeting the threshold for preventative or statutory intervention are referred to the right teams for an immediate or more planned response. Our aim is to provide the right service to the right children, at the right time. The MASH team is focused on applying a clear threshold to cases using Blackpool's continuum of need document. The team is comprised of practitioners from a range of partner agencies, and wider children's services partners. DOMESTIC ABUSE SUPPORT SERVICE GENERAL REQUIREMENT: Within this Multi-agency team we are seeking a partner organisation for rolling provision of DA specialist support. This will contribute to the daily triaging of cases to determine level of need, and deliver direct support and signposting to domestic abuse services to families and children in the context of domestic abuse. Day to day management of this function will come from the Council through the MASH Manager. This rolling provision will support pathways into services for cases that are domestic abuse cases that do not require a children's social care input. This will require work with the family and identification of and referral into relevant support services as appropriate. Signposting to DA services appropriate for working with the victim, perpetrator and child. In addition, undertake follow up to check that services have been put in to support the family. This will be at Level 2 & 3 of the Continuum of Need. Level 4 Child Protection cases will go straight in as referrals to CSC. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f3d21917-3730-496a-a44c-2d812f960bbe | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 8 Aug 2019 | | Submission deadline | 31 May 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 7 Aug 2019 | | Contract period | 31 Aug 2019 - 31 Mar 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £79,264 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £79,264 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | BLACKPOOL COUNCIL | | Locality | BLACKPOOL | | Post town | Blackpool | | Postcode | FY1 1NA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD4 Lancashire | | ITL 3 | TLD42 Blackpool | | Local authority | Blackpool | | Electoral ward | Talbot | | Westminster constituency | Blackpool South | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | FYLDE COAST WOMEN'S AID | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85320000 - Social services ## Release History - 8 Aug 2019 at 11:36 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f3d21917-3730-496a-a44c-2d812f960bbe ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f3d21917-3730-496a-a44c-2d812f960bbe 8th August 2019 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.blackpool.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
