This procurement, categorised under Health and Social Work Services (CPV 85000000), is currently at the planning stage, with a significant engagement event scheduled for 6th November 2019. Interested providers are encouraged to register for either of the two sessions being held at The Carnegie Room in Northampton. The engagement phase is set to conclude on 8th November 2019, which could impact the later stages of the procurement process. This tender presents a notable opportunity for SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) involved in delivering personal care services. Businesses specialising in domiciliary care, including those experienced in handling complex health and behavioural needs, would find this procurement particularly relevant. By participating in the pre-market engagement event, these organisations can gain insights into the council's requirements, positioning themselves to contribute to the service aimed at enhancing the quality of life for children and young people within their families. ## Notice Children First Northamptonshire (Northamptonshire County Council) (CFN - NCC) are looking to develop a Personal Care and Support Service for Children with Disabilities and other children and young people who meet the criteria for social care (sometimes referred to as "domiciliary care") to commence in April 2020. Personal Care and Support provides support to families to help children and young people with complex health or behavioural needs in the comfort of their own homes. It should be person centred, personal care, enabling care and/or other services that are necessary to maintain a child or young person's quality of life, enabling them to remain living with their family and achieve their specified outcomes. The service is not about dependency, but about helping people to do things for themselves as far as they are able. To assist with understanding the market, suppliers and offering, a pre-market engagement event is being held.
