This initiative is currently in the planning stage, with a projected maximum contract value of £22,000 and a deadline for engagement completion set for 23rd February 2018. The workshops are intended to take place across multiple sessions from September 2016 until February 2018, with venues across the South West of England being required for accessibility. This tender represents an opportunity for training providers and educational consultants specialising in innovative learning methodologies that focus on adolescent development and risk management. Companies that deliver engaging, participative workshops aimed at equipping social care professionals to work collaboratively with teenagers may find this procurement particularly relevant. The emphasis on creative and interactive training formats may attract businesses that offer specialised pedagogical expertise in social care education and training services. ## Notice Please note that this early engagement opportunity has now been completed. Please do not respond. A recent report by Research in Practice (Hanson and Holmes, 2014) explored the research and practice evidence around adolescence and risk. It suggested that despite an improved understanding of adolescent development and the specific risks faced by young people during this period of their lives the social care system is not very effective in reducing risks or protecting young people. The report also noted that research provides clear evidence of the powerful and central role that relationships play in adolescent well-being (WHO, 2014). It is particularly important at this time to be able to develop positive relationships with young people. This is reflected in the client centred and strengths based approaches that underpin a systemic approach to direct practice in Cornwall. We are looking to identify organisations or individuals who would have the skills and capacity to deliver an innovative and creative 1 day workshop that will support those working in the Children's Early Help, Psychology and Social Care Services to further develop their skills in working with teenagers to reduce the risk of sexual exploitation. The workshop should be engaging and highly participative. We are not looking for conventional classroom-style learning. This workshop will enable participants to improve their understanding of the lived experience of young people and to be better equipped to work collaboratively with young people. There will be 1 pilot session in June 2016 followed by 18 sessions over 18 months from September 2016 until February 2018. We will organise a venue and refreshments for the pilot session in June but the training provider will be expected to organise and pay for the venues and refreshments for the other 18 sessions. The provider will be required to ensure they select a venue or venues that offer equal access to staff travelling from all areas of the county. Maximum Contract Value The maximum value of this contract is PS22000. This should include the costs of providing the workshops, venues, refreshments, planning/preparation time and all other expenses. Please contact me by email by midday on Friday 15th April if you would be interested in being invited to provide a quote for this training. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4a6f43cd-91b4-4cbc-93c7-d9a183894b81 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 19 Jun 2017 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 23 Feb 2018 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | 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 | Cancelled | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CORNWALL COUNCIL | | Locality | TRURO | | Post town | Truro | | Postcode | TR1 3AY | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK3 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | | ITL 3 | TLK30 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | | Local authority | Cornwall | | Electoral ward | Truro Boscawen & Redannick | | Westminster constituency | Truro and Falmouth | | Delivery location | TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80000000 - Education and training services ## Release History - 19 Jun 2017 at 11:03 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4a6f43cd-91b4-4cbc-93c7-d9a183894b81 - 19 Jun 2017 at 11:03 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3f3891ba-d958-43f4-8824-c509db0b28e5 - 18 Nov 2016 at 20:17 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3f3891ba-d958-43f4-8824-c509db0b28e5 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4a6f43cd-91b4-4cbc-93c7-d9a183894b81 19th June 2017 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3f3891ba-d958-43f4-8824-c509db0b28e5 19th June 2017 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
