The procurement falls within the community health services category and is set in the South East region of the UK. The tender period concludes on 27th August 2018, with the intention to award a contract valued at up to £195,000 per annum for a duration of two years, commencing on 1st October 2018, with potential extensions available. This tender presents significant opportunities for organisations specialising in social services, particularly those focused on youth education and mental health interventions. Businesses that have experience in delivering services to vulnerable young populations and are proficient in trauma-informed care will be well-positioned to compete. The flexible approach and focus on building relationships with young women who have faced adversities suggest a need for innovative service models that prioritise self-efficacy and resilience-building. ## Notice Provision of a Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) and Emotional Resilience Intervention for Girls and Young Women aged 10-16 years. The service will improve outcomes for young women who have been exposed to adversities including sexual exploitation, coercive and abusive relations and familial domestic abuse. The services will be available to those living within the Kent County Council geographical area. The Contractor shall manage referrals and deliver a timely intervention with the young person and their family, as appropriate. Key principles of the intervention will be: * A strength based, domains-based approach to resilience * Building self-efficacy through working towards goals articulated by the young person * Using a trauma informed approach Since 2012 this has been delivered through the Positive Relationship Service with two Contractors across Kent. The current Positive Relationships intervention takes a flexible but structured approach which introduces young women to issues of consent, healthy relationships, recognising coercion and risk, building skills in negotiating relationships, building self-worth and aspirations and identifying additional sources of support. Building relationships with these young women, giving them permission to talk about their experiences has led to the disclosure of sexual exploitation, self-harm, historic domestic abuse and cohesive familial and peer relationships. The group work programme varies according to the age of the young women. This is in line with the current evidence base (Howarth E 2016 unpublished). As of April 2018, the service was working with approximately 72 young women across Kent and a total of 240 young women per year. It is the Council's intention to award the contract for a period of two years with the potential to extend for a further two years in twelve-month extensions. The contract will commence on 1st October 2018. The maximum contract value is PS195,000 per annum which may be subject to change. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/14e5696e-1e13-447c-86ba-0fad1822e841 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 26 Jul 2018 | | Submission deadline | 27 Aug 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Sep 2018 - 30 Sep 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £780,000 | | 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 | KENT COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | MAIDSTONE | | Post town | Rochester | | Postcode | ME14 1XQ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ4 Kent | | ITL 3 | TLJ45 Mid Kent | | Local authority | Maidstone | | Electoral ward | Penenden Heath | | Westminster constituency | Maidstone and Malling | | Delivery location | TLJ South East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85323000 - Community health services ## Release History - 26 Jul 2018 at 17:32 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/14e5696e-1e13-447c-86ba-0fad1822e841 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/14e5696e-1e13-447c-86ba-0fad1822e841 26th July 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=7736d601-4784-e811-80ed-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.kent.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
