## Summary

Cumbria County Council is seeking bids for a tender titled "Adoption Support - Developmental Attachment Therapy and Joint Intervention." This procurement falls under the "Social work and related services" industry category and is based in the North West region of England. The procurement method is an open procedure, and the tender period ends on 11th May 2017. The contract is expected to start on 1st October 2017 and run until 30th September 2018, with a total contract value of £31,000.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in social work and related services. Businesses offering developmental attachment therapy or similar interventions for adoptive families would be particularly well-suited to apply. Engaging in this contract can not only contribute to vital support for vulnerable children and their families but also enhance the contracting organisation's capacity to deliver integrated care services across the county.

## Notice

Children placed for adoption often have experience of former care giving environments where there is a combination of abuse, neglect, rejection and danger. This can cause significant problems in the process of forming satisfactory relationships with and attachments to new carers. The provision of developmental attachment therapy and joint intervention plays a crucial role in helping children and their adoptive families to develop strong lasting relationships and attachments, therefore preventing adoption breakdowns. Cumbria County Council is commissioning this countywide service to ensure good outcomes for this vulnerable group of children and their adoptive families are achieved and to meet statutory requirements. This commissioned service shall be delivered alongside the work of the Adoption Support Team, ensuring an integrated service for adopted children and their families.
