Until recently he lived at home with his parents. He was referred to the department by his mother in November 2018 as he was demonstrating some violent and challenging behaviour towards her, had run away from home, and parents were struggling to cope with his behaviour from both a practical and emotional sense. X became looked after under section 20 CA 1989. He does demonstrate complex and challenging behaviours in relation to his autism, and he also self-harms by making superficial cuts to his arms and legs. He has some self-care skills in that he does get his clothes out the night before, but he needs supervision and prompts to ensure that these tasks are carried out correctly. He likes anything related to transport - particularly lorries and motorbikes, his X Box, Top Trumps and TV programmes such as Tipping Point, The Chase, I'm a Celebrity Get me out of here. He has been living in a supported living service, but this placement has broken down with the care provider issuing notice and a residential care provision is now required. If you are in a position to provide care for this individual please contact Jill Snaith on 03000 260076 or jill.snaith@durham.gov.uk ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/06857cb9-746e-4b55-baff-3953d804fe44 | | 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 | 18 Oct 2019 | | Submission deadline | 23 Oct 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 28 Oct 2019 - 18 Oct 2020 | | 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) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 18 Oct 2019 at 13:26 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/06857cb9-746e-4b55-baff-3953d804fe44 - 18 Oct 2019 at 13:21 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/45950e6d-76d6-4022-9a31-815a68290f12 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/06857cb9-746e-4b55-baff-3953d804fe44 18th October 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/45950e6d-76d6-4022-9a31-815a68290f12 18th October 2019 - 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.
