## Summary

The Nottinghamshire County Council is seeking bids for the "DN2 Children's Services Intervention Programme - Social Impact Bond," a tender aimed at providing evidence-based services to support children at risk of entering care or currently in care. This initiative falls under the health and social work services category and is taking place in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. The procurement stage is currently in the tender phase, with the deadline for submissions set for 20 April 2018. The total value of the contract ranges between £12 million to £15 million, and it is expected to span from 28 October 2018 to 31 October 2022, employing a selective procurement method through competitive dialogue.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses focused on social services, particularly those experienced in delivering interventions for children and families. Companies that can provide innovative solutions to support young people facing challenging behaviours and complex needs will find this procurement aligned with their capabilities. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well-suited to participate, as the programme aims to foster partnerships that drive social change and deliver meaningful outcomes for children and their families.

## Notice

The DN2 Partnership have successfully secured funding to develop a Social Impact Bond and is seeking to jointly commission evidence-based services that support children on the edge of care and, in care to achieve better social outcomes. DN2 is seeking a consortium to deliver the specialist interventions to support young people with challenging behaviours and complex needs: * In Care, who are currently in residential care to step down to foster care, who are in foster care and at a high risk of placement breakdown, or of entering residential care, to remain in stable foster care, who currently are LAC but whom we are seeking to re-unify with their birth family or primary carers. * Edge of Care - an intensive family intervention to support children and young people on the edge of care remain safely with their families / primary carers. The project aims to help up to 400 children and young people over 4 years. Further detail is provided in the procurement documents. The DN2 Partnership is seeking an investor/provider/consortium to deliver the Services through a Social Impact Bond ("SIB"). The SIB is an opportunity for the DN2 Partnership to establish a part-nership that will deliver innovation, and help move children and young people away from the trajecto-ries that often take shape alongside challenging behaviour born of challenging circumstances. SIB's are a model in which socially-motivated investors fund the upfront costs for a provider(s) to deliver a public service. Payment to the investor-provider/consortium is then made by DN2 Partnership on the basis of achieved outcomes. The investor will be required to fund the provider(s) to deliver the service re-gardless of the achievement of such outcomes. All applicants which satisfy the minimum require-ments set out in the SQ will be invited to participate in the tender stages of the competitive dialogue procedure.
