The procurement involves funding of £88,000 to develop and deliver a mentoring service until 31st March 2024. The tender, titled "GMCA643 Support service for Girls & Young women," falls under the Health and Social Work Services category. The open procedure has a tender period ending on 6th February 2023, with the contract period starting on 1st April 2023. This tender offers an opportunity for businesses providing health and social work services, particularly those focused on supporting vulnerable young women, to contribute to a crucial public health initiative. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are well-suited to compete for this contract, which aims to build resilience and provide vital support to girls and young women aged 14-21 in Greater Manchester. Further details can be accessed on The Chest website. ## Notice The Greater Manchester Violence Reduction Unit would like to adopt a public health approach to developing a programme of support for girls and young women by implementing a range of interventions (primary, secondary, and tertiary), which seek to build resilience and move them away from offending. This service must be offered within Oldham, Bury, Rochdale and Tameside, however, there is no expectation for full time caseworkers to be permanently embedded in each area unless this is directed by an identified need. However, the successful bidder will be expected to work closely with existing services/ multi agency teams as appropriate, particularly the GMVRU, the Youth Justice Service, Probation Service, children's services, complex safeguarding, Greater Manchester Police, and services within the community. The Provider must have arrangements in place to contact, and where appropriate meet girls, and young women face to face to provide support, ensuring that it is a safe environment for both the worker and the young person they are working with. An effective lone-working policy must be in place. Funding does not allow for dedicated premises costs. The Provider must have access to their own existing premises and / or utilise community and stakeholder space. The aim of the service is to deliver a mentoring service for Girls and & Young Women, aged 14-21, who are at risk of serious gang related youth violence, and exploitation which seeks to build resilience, and supports them to develop positive identity formation which will enable them to think independently, and thus reduce their vulnerability to exploitation and abuse. Based on individual need the activities may include peer mentoring: art and cultural activities; vocational and sport activities. Earlier this year the Greater Manchester Violence Reduction Unit (GMVRU) received confirmation of multi-year Home Office Serious Violence funding. The Violence Reduction Governance Board has subsequently agreed to invest PS88,000 of this funding to commission a provider to develop and deliver a mentoring service for girls and young women, aged 14-21, who are at risk of serious gang related youth violence, criminal, and sexual exploitation and abuse, and modern slavery, from contract award until 31st March 2024, It is expected that the successful provider will develop and deliver a programme of support for girls and young women that will encompass: * Interventions that are trauma responsive and address the complex needs of girls and young Women who are at risk of serious gang related youth violence, sexual exploitation and abuse, and modern slavery. * A suite of activities to support these vulnerabilities, through one-to-one mentoring and group activities. * Links in with local statutory services and local community providers, with a focus on relationships, sport/cultural and positive activities This opportunity can be accessed at: https://www.the-chest.org.uk/ ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/94cbde2d-325d-4d35-9efd-33d2fdfcba9c | | 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 | 13 Jan 2023 | | Submission deadline | 6 Feb 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2023 - 31 Mar 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £176,000 | | 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 | GREATER MANCHESTER COMBINED AUTHORITY | | Locality | SALFORD | | Post town | Manchester | | Postcode | M27 8US | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD3 Greater Manchester | | ITL 3 | TLD34 Greater Manchester South West | | Local authority | Salford | | Electoral ward | Swinton Park | | Westminster constituency | Salford | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 13 Jan 2023 at 10:47 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/94cbde2d-325d-4d35-9efd-33d2fdfcba9c - 11 Jan 2023 at 16:07 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c52116c6-cd83-4c5b-8b87-712e3d24e5f1 - 6 Jan 2023 at 17:57 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8c316c00-4a46-4c7a-b8c0-ae846b21b4be ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/94cbde2d-325d-4d35-9efd-33d2fdfcba9c 13th January 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c52116c6-cd83-4c5b-8b87-712e3d24e5f1 11th January 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8c316c00-4a46-4c7a-b8c0-ae846b21b4be 6th January 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://www.the-chest.org.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
