This service is designed to support children with neurodevelopmental / SEND / LD needs who have experienced significant adverse childhood experiences. The tender, with a value of £900,000 GBP, is classified under Health and social work services and is open for interested suppliers to bid until 27th March 2023. The contract period is set to start on 24th July 2023 and end on 23rd July 2025. This tender provides an opportunity for businesses in the health and social work services sector to participate in delivering crucial services to vulnerable children and young people. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to apply. The Wigan Council, as the contracting authority, is looking for providers who can offer flexible and responsive services to ensure emotional well-being assessments are conducted for children in care, along with offering various support services to care leavers and foster families. ## Notice Wigan Council's requirements of an Emotional and Mental Health (EMH) Service for our Children in Care and our young people who have left our care; including children with neurodevelopmental / SEND / LD. The service is to be a flexible and a responsive service for this cohort of children and young people who have in the vast majority of cases, suffered significant adverse childhood experiences often leading to long-lasting emotional trauma. Child and adolescent mental health provision currently does not meet this need. These children and their carers need a robust service to ensure the right support is provided at the right time in order to avoid an escalation of need and support stability within their home. The service will complete emotional wellbeing assessments of all children who are new into our care. There will be the provision of weekly drop-in support to the Care Leavers Hub, provide specific support to social workers and the team around the child, offer comprehensive therapeutic training to our foster carers (supported lodgings hosts), group consultation and individual support to foster carers and fostering families in relation to the children they care for and one to one therapeutic support to a mutually agreed number of children a year. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/24a00d04-f78f-4851-9b94-9caa0320310a | | 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 | 27 Feb 2023 | | Submission deadline | 27 Mar 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 23 Jul 2023 - 23 Jul 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £900,000 | | 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 | WIGAN COUNCIL | | Locality | WIGAN | | Post town | Wigan | | Postcode | WN1 1YN | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD3 Greater Manchester | | ITL 3 | TLD36 Greater Manchester North West | | Local authority | Wigan | | Electoral ward | Wigan Central | | Westminster constituency | Wigan | | 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 - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services - 98000000 - Other community, social and personal services ## Release History - 27 Feb 2023 at 15:43 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/24a00d04-f78f-4851-9b94-9caa0320310a ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/24a00d04-f78f-4851-9b94-9caa0320310a 27th February 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=5f9017e5-5cb4-ed11-811f-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.wigan.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
