## Summary

The Oxfordshire County Council is seeking tenders for the "Public Health Protective Behaviours Service in Oxfordshire", aimed at providing a protective behaviours programme to Key Stage 3 pupils in secondary schools or colleges at no cost to the institutions. The procurement is currently in the Tender stage and was published on 26 November 2018, with a tender submission deadline set for 11 January 2019. The contract is valued at £630,000 and is classified under secondary education services. The contract term is set for 3 years and 3 months, commencing on 23 April 2019 and potentially extending for an additional 2 years. 

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly those specialising in educational services, child welfare, and public health initiatives. Organisations involved in providing educational programmes, counselling services, or those that have experience working with schools would be well-suited to compete. The active involvement of various partners within the school system, including health professionals and third-sector organisations, will necessitate strong collaborative capabilities for successful bidders, further enhancing service delivery outcomes for children's well-being in Oxfordshire.

## Notice

Oxfordshire County Council Public Health are commissioning a service that delivers an age-appropriate, Protective Behaviours programme within secondary schools (or colleges where appropriate) during the school day to Key Stage 3 pupils, at no charge to the schools. Tenders are invited from suitably qualified organisations to provide the service described in the specification. The service will be a key component in the development of a whole-school protective behaviours approach to keeping children safe and well in schools in Oxfordshire. The service provider will need to engage schools and be flexible in the delivery to fit in with busy timetables. It will build upon The Safer Together Project, a Council Protective Behaviours programme for years 3 and 4 which began in summer 2018. A key part of the service will be classroom-based group work with children. The service will contribute to some of the Public Health outcomes for under-18s' well-being and safety by helping to develop skills in children in understanding risk and becoming resilient. There are important partners for the service to work with both within the school - e.g. School Health Nurses - and external partners such as Aquarius Substance Misuse service, CAMHS, and third sector organisations that work with children, to achieve a countywide common approach that uses the ethos of Protective Behaviours. The contract can be delivered by single organisations or consortium/partnerships, and the successful provider will need to maintain strong working relationships and work with other organisations to deliver an effective, timely service. Contract term: 3 years and 3 months plus the option to extend up to a further 2 years. Estimated start/end date: 23rd April 2019 to 31st July 2022.
