We have identified that there is a need to reduce the numbers of children and young people who enter care in Liverpool. The successful service provider will work with parents who have identified mental health needs to improve their wellbeing which will allow them to parent effectively. Improvements in parenting will prevent children entering care. The intention is to re-commission a therapeutic service to follow on from the pilot programme awarded in February 2023 (DN641238). The successful Provider will work with 16 families selected from Social Care, who have children who are at high risk of becoming looked after. The families are likely to be on Child Protection plans and not showing evidence of change or be in pre proceedings with a trajectory towards court proceedings, which will be seeking to remove the children from the care of their parents. The psychological service will be commissioned to provide mental health well-being practitioners and clinical psychologists. The mental health professionals will work alongside Outreach Family Support Workers and other professionals from the Early Help Hubs and provide intensive support which will be underpinned by mentalisation therapy. The approach will seek to reduce risk and need through an intensive therapeutic intervention which will see families move down the continuum of need. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1549a25b-9408-494e-8337-9f6751a9d3d4 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 18 Apr 2024 | | Submission deadline | 6 Mar 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 11 Apr 2024 | | Contract period | 30 Apr 2024 - 30 Apr 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £400,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £396,562 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LIVERPOOL CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | LIVERPOOL | | Post town | Liverpool | | Postcode | L3 1DS | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD7 Merseyside | | ITL 3 | TLD72 Liverpool | | Local authority | Liverpool | | Electoral ward | Waterfront South | | Westminster constituency | Liverpool Riverside | | 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) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | WILKS FORENSIC PSYCHOLOGY | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85121270 - Psychiatrist or psychologist services ## Release History - 18 Apr 2024 at 13:19 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1549a25b-9408-494e-8337-9f6751a9d3d4 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1549a25b-9408-494e-8337-9f6751a9d3d4 18th April 2024 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=67264b30-c2b6-ee11-8127-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.liverpool.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
