The total estimated value of the contract is £650,588. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses focused on social services, particularly those that work with vulnerable populations, such as unaccompanied asylum-seeker children and refugee families.

This provision will provide support, encouragement and opportunities for Staffordshire's UASC and UKRS Refugee Children population to engage in their community through various community assets in order to benefit the resident community, promote positive outcomes for these young people and achieve community cohesion. The vision is to ensure that all these children and young people have a network of support to help them manage their own challenges, develop robust independence skills and achieve their goals and ambitions to be contributing, positive members of society. The service will be provided to all UASC and UKRS Refugee Children and on occasion may include children and young people living outside of Staffordshire County. The Government is also looking to settle Afghan families of Afghan locally employed staff who have previously worked with British forces and British Embassy staff in Afghanistan within the UK. The Council intends to accept Afghan families as part of the Afghan Locally Employed Staff (LES) Relocation Scheme during 2021. Children in these families will also be supported by this service. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e07b4b98-e5db-4f2f-b568-b22df111eeb0 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 3 Mar 2022 | | Submission deadline | 18 Oct 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 3 Mar 2022 | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2022 - 31 Mar 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £650,588 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | 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 | STAFFORDSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | STAFFORD | | Post town | Stoke-on-Trent | | Postcode | ST16 2DH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG2 Shropshire and Staffordshire | | ITL 3 | TLG24 Staffordshire CC | | Local authority | Stafford | | Electoral ward | Forebridge | | Westminster constituency | Stafford | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | ABOVE N BEYOND | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services - 98000000 - Other community, social and personal services ## Release History - 3 Mar 2022 at 09:28 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e07b4b98-e5db-4f2f-b568-b22df111eeb0 - 28 Sep 2021 at 14:55 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ef222dfd-e95d-44d5-9356-955d60fd815e - 23 Sep 2021 at 15:09 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ef222dfd-e95d-44d5-9356-955d60fd815e ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e07b4b98-e5db-4f2f-b568-b22df111eeb0 3rd March 2022 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ef222dfd-e95d-44d5-9356-955d60fd815e 28th September 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://supplierlive.proactisp2p.com/Account/Login Reply via the Proactis Supplier Network ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
