This initiative falls under the social work and related services industry category and is primarily located in North Kent, including Dartford, Gravesham, Sevenoaks, and Swale. The procurement is currently at the Tender stage, with an end date of 3rd April 2020 for submissions. The council has secured funding of £1,362,645 over two years to implement various interventions and community initiatives. This procurement represents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly those specialising in social services, youth engagement, and community development. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector organisations (VCSE) are encouraged to participate, as the project aims to enhance local partnerships and offer support to vulnerable youth. Companies that can provide innovative solutions for preventing youth crime and fostering resilience among young people will be well-positioned to compete for this contract. ## Notice Kent County Council (KCC), in partnership with Kent Police and Medway Council, have been successful in receiving funding from the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG). This funding is to target children and young people (CYP) between the ages of 10 - 17 years, at risk of being, or already involved in serious youth violence. The strategic aims of the Supporting Families Against Youth Crime Fund are to: * Add capacity to local authorities to help them respond to gang and youth crime issues * Test and learn from interventions and place-based initiatives * Drive improved local, multi-agency partnership working with the Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS) * Develop CYP's personal resilience to withstand peer pressure and make positive choices, particularly at primary to secondary school transition * Intervene early and raise awareness of the dangers of gangs, youth violence and knife crime * Challenge a culture of acceptable knife carrying Kent County Council secured PS1,362,645 over two years, in a collaborative bid with Medway Council, Metropolitan Police and Kent Police to deliver across North Kent (Dartford, Gravesham, Sevenoaks and Swale) and Medway. A portion of this funding has secured coordination, Police and analyst time to support the strategic aims of the project. The commissioned element of the project will focus on the operational delivery of services to CYP, their families and their communities, to both tackle and to prevent serious youth violence. This will be done by: * Preventing people from engaging with gangs and youth violence, including through raising awareness for CYP, their communities, families and professionals who support them * Protecting vulnerable CYP by increasing community inclusion, safeguarding activity and providing intensive support ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ab12a9da-d6c4-4c04-9a01-4be78e6a6b24 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Negotiated procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 17 Mar 2020 | | Submission deadline | 3 Apr 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 27 Apr 2020 - 27 Apr 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £965,000 | | 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 - 85300000 - Social work and related services ## Release History - 17 Mar 2020 at 11:32 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ab12a9da-d6c4-4c04-9a01-4be78e6a6b24 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ab12a9da-d6c4-4c04-9a01-4be78e6a6b24 17th March 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=0431fa87-1439-ea11-80fc-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - https://www.kentbusinessportal.org.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
