The procurement method is an open procedure, and the tender period ends on 26th July 2023. The contract period spans from 9th August 2023 to 19th July 2024. Businesses involved in health and social work services, particularly those with expertise in providing therapeutic and nurturing environments for children with complex emotional needs, would find this tender opportunity suitable for growth. Durham County Council, as the buying organisation, seeks a provider to offer bespoke residential care for a 13-year-old girl with significant emotional trauma. This tender, open to SMEs and VCSEs, presents an opportunity for businesses to contribute positively to a vulnerable child's well-being.

Businesses with a focus on providing specialized care and support services for children facing emotional challenges would be well-suited to compete in this tender process. ## Notice Ofsted or CQC registered. Rural is preferred. K is a 13 year old girl who has experienced significant trauma in her early life resulting in her struggling to manage her emotions and how she behaves as well as how she feels about herself and how she talks to and behaves towards others. When K is feeling happy and settled she can be fun and have a good sense of humour. She loves horses and all things hair and beauty related such as getting her nails done. K likes listening to music and singing as well as socialising with friends and visiting her family. K has a very caring and lovely side when she is not unregulated. K is a very talented writer and I have seen many of her poems/songs she has written for members of her family or about her feelings. I feel this is something she could really progress with in the future. When K is unregulated and feeling unable to manage her emotions, this is when we see a different side to her. K may shout and scream, swear, damage property and make threats to staff. She will go missing and can use substances and find herself in situations where she is at risk of exploitation. When K is in this heightened state distraction techniques can sometimes work or chat to her grandad on the phone. K is unable to have a mobile phone at the moment due to our worries around exploitation. K requires further exploration of her social and communication needs as well as any global needs to ensure she has the correct support in place. K has so much to offer and did have a long-settled period at Moorside and built positive relationships with staff. K needs a stable place to live, somewhere therapeutic and nurturing to help support her when she is feeling unable to regulate herself. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8e4351c8-058b-4927-8584-59827600c1ab | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 19 Jul 2023 | | Submission deadline | 26 Jul 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 8 Aug 2023 - 19 Jul 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 | DURHAM COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | DURHAM | | Post town | Durham | | Postcode | DH1 5UG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLC North East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLC4 Northumberland, Durham and Tyne & Wear | | ITL 3 | TLC41 Durham | | Local authority | County Durham | | Electoral ward | Neville's Cross | | Westminster constituency | City of Durham | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 19 Jul 2023 at 16:09 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8e4351c8-058b-4927-8584-59827600c1ab ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8e4351c8-058b-4927-8584-59827600c1ab 19th July 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.durham.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
