This service aims to empower these young individuals to have a meaningful voice in decisions affecting them through established participation structures. The tender, with a total value of £360,000, follows an open procurement method and has a contract period running from 1 April 2018 to 31 March 2021. The procurement stage is currently marked as awarded, with the award notice published on 8 December 2017. The service is required to be delivered in the North West region of England, with the tender period closing on 10 November 2017. This procurement presents significant opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) well-versed in social work and health services. Businesses that can effectively engage with children and young people, especially those experienced in participatory practices and advocacy, would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. This tender not only supports the development of essential services but also reinforces the need for inclusive practices in the social care sector, fostering a sustainable avenue for growth and community impact. ## Notice The aim of the Service will be to facilitate the representative voice and influence of Children and Young People (CYP) who are looked after by the local authority (CLA) and those who have Special Education Needs and Disabilities (SEND) both formally and informally in the decisions that are made for and about them in Lancashire. The Service will: i. Develop the representative formal participation structures of: LINX (Listen, Inform, Negotiate and Xpress) the children in care council and POWAR (Participate, Opportunity, Win, Achieve, Respect) the SEND forum. ii. Enable CLA and SEND CYP to take an active part in planning, developing and reviewing the services they use. iii. Ensure that the views of CLA and SEND CYP are embedded in services, are heard and effect change. iv. Play an active role in developing and embedding participation in Lancashire. The Service will develop and build on the principle that all CYP, particularly those who are looked after and those with SEND, should not only participate in the decisions that affect their lives but that they should also be empowered to take part in democratic society. Additional information: Please note: The contract end-date is 31/03/2019 with the option to extend for any period of time up to a maximum date of 31st March 2021. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1de64e56-3708-43df-9c80-a24f5d9fb076 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 8 Dec 2017 | | Submission deadline | 10 Nov 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 5 Dec 2017 | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2018 - 31 Mar 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £360,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £360,000 | | 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 | LANCASHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | PRESTON | | Post town | Preston | | Postcode | PR1 8XJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD4 Lancashire | | ITL 3 | TLD45 Mid Lancashire | | Local authority | Preston | | Electoral ward | City Centre | | Westminster constituency | Preston | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | BARNARDO SERVICES | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 8 Dec 2017 at 10:51 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1de64e56-3708-43df-9c80-a24f5d9fb076 - 10 Oct 2017 at 15:06 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8e10b753-ab02-4c21-ab34-c222043b744e ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1de64e56-3708-43df-9c80-a24f5d9fb076 8th December 2017 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8e10b753-ab02-4c21-ab34-c222043b744e 10th October 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - http://www3.lancashire.gov.uk/corporate/web/?siteid=6864&pageid=41137&e=e To apply, please select this link ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
