The newly developed Team will support SSBC to meet needs including: Too many new babies experience complex relationship difficulties with their primary carers. Without specialised help these unresolved problems can affect future outcomes and in the most severe cases, can lead to a child being taken into care. The complex and persistent nature of some parent-infant relationship difficulties are beyond the scope of universal or typical early help support, and need specialised, multi-disciplinary intervention. Frontline practitioners may lack confidence or awareness to identify early relationship problems. Unresolved parent-infant relationship difficulties can be passed on inter-generationally with long lasting effects and high costs to the public purse. The successful supplier will support SSBC in terms of developing a whole system approach to prioritising Infant Mental Health is required to support a baby's emotional well-being through secure and responsive relationships with caregivers. Parents who are tuned-in and able to respond to babies' needs sensitively shape how babies experience their emotions and how they learn to regulate and express these emotions. In contrast, difficulties in early relationships can have negative effects on child development, with long term costs to individuals, families, communities and society. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/66f7ac69-305f-4d4d-b1da-372e48e0636b | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not applicable | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 26 Oct 2020 | | Submission deadline | 19 Nov 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 20 Nov 2020 - 1 Apr 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NHS ARDEN AND GREATER EAST MIDLANDS COMMISSIONING SUPPORT UNIT | | Locality | NOTTINGHAM | | Post town | Nottingham | | Postcode | NG1 6GN | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF1 Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire | | ITL 3 | TLF14 Nottingham | | Local authority | Nottingham | | Electoral ward | Castle | | Westminster constituency | Nottingham East | | Delivery location | TLF East Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 75 - Administration, defence and social security services - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 75200000 - Provision of services to the community - 85100000 - Health services - 85322000 - Community action programme - 85323000 - Community health services ## Release History - 26 Oct 2020 at 11:17 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/66f7ac69-305f-4d4d-b1da-372e48e0636b ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/66f7ac69-305f-4d4d-b1da-372e48e0636b 26th October 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/edittransaction.asp?TID=41646 - https://www.nottinghamcitycare.nhs.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
