## Summary

The Nottinghamshire County Council has awarded a contract for the DN2 STARS Programme - External Evaluation worth £37,460 to York Consulting Llp. The procurement involved social work and related services, specifically research consultancy services within the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom. The contract period is from 4th September 2023 to 31st January 2025.

This tender opportunity, focused on providing interventions for young people, offers growth prospects for businesses specialising in research consultancy services, particularly those based in the East Midlands region. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in social work and related services are well-suited to compete for this contract, aligning with the programme's objective of supporting young individuals in achieving stable family placements.

## Notice

DN2 is a partnership between Nottinghamshire County Council, Nottingham City Council and Derby City Council which has contracted with Outcomes for Children (part of the Polaris Children' Services) to provide tailored interventions with specific cohorts of young people aged 10-16 years old. The aim of the programme is to support children and young people to achieve stable family type placements (e.g. stepping down from residential care with new types of support) and to remain at home with their families or primary carers where safe to do so. DN2 is seeking a robust evaluation of the intervention programme on both the impact it has had on the individuals that have been referred to the programme and whether the intended outcomes were achieved for each of the four cohorts.
