The tender aims to address identified gaps in social care services and invites providers to share best practice examples via online forms by 24th November 2022. The opportunity is not for competition, but to engage potential service providers for future contract opportunities. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses providing social work services to collaborate with Worcestershire County Council in developing new services for vulnerable young people and adults with mental health needs. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are well-suited to compete in this tender process. The contract period is scheduled to start on 25th November 2022, providing a clear timeline for interested parties to plan their submissions and engagement with the Council. ## Notice Worcestershire County Council has recently undertaken a needs assessment of social care services for people with mental health needs. Gaps have been identified in the provision of certain types of support and we are looking to develop new services to commission. To help with this, we are asking providers to share best practice examples of support for these types of need via two online forms (Young People and/or Adults). We will then offer you the opportunity to meet to discuss working together, should you wish. Young People With Mental Health Needs: One of these gaps is around services for those people aged 16 plus, with complex needs and/or challenges. They are considered vulnerable and may have an autism diagnosis. https://forms.office.com/r/ecJw4T2zy9 Adults With Mental Health Needs: https://forms.office.com/r/wB3LHyF6cZ The last day to submit these form/s, to be part of this engagement is 9am Thursday 24 November 2022. Thank you so much for supporting our work. We look forward to your response.
