The tender is in the active stage, with the closing date for submissions set for 20 January 2022.

The estimated annual budget for this service ranges from £130,000 to £150,000, excluding VAT, with an opportunity for the contract value to increase by up to 25% based on external funding success. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses that specialise in community services, rehabilitation, and youth support, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary or community sector organisations (VCSEs). Companies focused on providing trauma-informed, holistic support services for at-risk children would be well-suited to compete. By engaging in this procurement process, businesses can not only contribute positively to their communities but also potentially secure a contract that offers sustainable income and the chance to expand their service reach within Cumbria. ## Notice The Cumbria Office of Police & Crime Commissioner is undertaking this procurement exercise with the overall aim is to commission an early intervention service, which will provide a holistic and trauma informed approach to ensure children are not unnecessarily criminalised by taking every opportunity to divert them away from offending and to prevent the involvement of statutory services. The service will work in conjunction with Cumbria Constabulary's Child Centred Policing Teams located in the North, West and South of Cumbria, and will focus on delivery around a Child Mentor model. The Child Mentor will be responsible for providing tailored and needs-led, one-to-one support to children who are displaying early signs of risk-taking behaviour and vulnerability to criminalisation. The service will work in partnership with other support organisations to build a whole system approach that creates a share vision for each child. The service will refer cases, where relevant, to other interventions, with the aim of jointly resolving issues. This service is not to replace existing practices but will offer a new layer of support. Aim/objectives: * Divert children away from the criminal justice system. * Prevent the unnecessary criminalisation of children. * Prevent the involvement of statutory agencies. * Break the offending cycle. * Prevent further harm. * Support children to make better choices to improve their life opportunities. * Consider the wider family and ability to offer additional support, to help the child. Contract period 1.4.22 to 31.3.24 with option to extend for 12 months to 31.3.25. Estimated annual budget range PS130,000-PS150,000 (excluding VAT) per annum for service as defined within ITT Part Two (Operational Requirements and Specification). In addition, it is anticipated that during the Contract term the Commission involving the awarded Contract Supplier will bid for appropriate external grant funding opportunities that may arise which would enhance the service provision to users and service outcomes. If the Authority is successful, this could potentially increase the estimated Contract value by up to 25%. The advertised estimate highest value has been based on the upper value. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5e987d28-f021-461d-835b-b8a46bbfb4df | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 9 Dec 2021 | | Submission deadline | 20 Jan 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2022 - 31 Mar 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £563,000 | | 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 | CUMBRIA CONSTABULARY - OFFICE OF THE POLICE & CRIME COMMISSIONER | | Locality | PENRITH, CUMBRIA | | Post town | Carlisle | | Postcode | CA10 2AU | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD1 Cumbria | | ITL 3 | TLD14 Westmorland and Furness | | Local authority | Westmorland and Furness | | Electoral ward | Penrith South | | Westminster constituency | Penrith and Solway | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 75 - Administration, defence and social security services - 85 - Health and social work services - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 75200000 - Provision of services to the community - 85312500 - Rehabilitation services - 98000000 - Other community, social and personal services - 98133100 - Civic betterment and community facility support services ## Release History - 9 Dec 2021 at 11:01 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5e987d28-f021-461d-835b-b8a46bbfb4df ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5e987d28-f021-461d-835b-b8a46bbfb4df 9th December 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=41396&B=BLUELIGHT Additional data - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/34578 User / Company ## Notice URLs - http://www.cumbria.police.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
