## Summary

The Luton Council is seeking a single provider to operate a residential provision for children and young people with social, emotional, and mental health needs within a registered Children's Home. This tender falls under the Health and social work services category. The procurement aims to establish a 'Block Contract' arrangement with a value of GBP 7,540,000. The tender deadline is on 27th March 2023, with the contract period expected to start on 1st June 2023 and end on 30th April 2030.

This opportunity is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and is conducted through an Open procedure. Businesses in the health and social work services sector, with experience in providing residential care for children and young people with challenging behaviours and mental health needs, are well-suited to compete. Interested parties can contact Sal Rahman at Luton Council for further information.

## Notice

Luton Council ("The Council") wish to procure a 'Block Contract' arrangement with a Single Provider to provide four - five (4-5) residential block placements for Children and Young People aged 11 to 18 with social, emotional, mental health needs within one (1) registered Children's Home. Children and Young People are likely to have trauma and attachment difficulties; the experience of some has been such that they have developed ways of functioning which are challenging to carers in any setting within which they are living. Needs will include behaviours such as cutting, ligatures, head banging, swallowing, inserting objects, restriction of food and fluid, thoughts of suicide and possible attempts on life that increase their risk, either by direct intention to end life, or though impulsivity/misadventure. Children and Young People eligible for this service require a trauma informed, positive behavioural, attachment based approach which isn't punitive but validating of their feelings that underlie their risk behaviours and emphasise a recovery focussed approach.
