## Summary

The Kent County Council is undertaking a procurement process for the "SC20043 - Motivational Interview Training" project within the education and training services industry. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, and it is currently in the award stage, with the contract value set at £150,000. The contract period is from 20th October 2021 to 30th September 2022. The deadline for tender submissions was 5th July 2021, and the services will be delivered in England, specifically in Maidstone, where the council is based.

This procurement presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in training services, particularly those focused on educational and motivational interviewing techniques. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises (VCSEs) are well-suited to compete in this tender, as the council encourages participation from these sectors to enhance community engagement and outcomes for children and families. This initiative aims to foster a shift in practice within children's services, making it an attractive opportunity for firms with experience in behavioural change methodologies and family support services.

## Notice

KCC, Children, Young Person and Education (CYPE) Directorate, wishes to commission a provider to deliver a Motivational Interviewing training programme to support a new Practice Framework implementation. Motivational Interviewing is a counselling method that helps people to resolve ambivalent feelings and insecurities to find the motivation to change behaviour. The Supplier must deliver a Motivational Interviewing Training Programme for the Council's Integrated Children's Service to: a) bring about better engagement with families and supporting change to improve outcomes for children; and b) facilitate a culture shift that will see workers approach families with a different language and a different attitude, designed to overcome parent's resistance to accept the help on offer to address their challenges and achieve better outcomes for their children. For more information and to respond to the Council's recent opportunity please visit https://www.kentbusinessportal.org.uk/.
