The Council is currently scoping its requirements for a new contract to commence on the 1st of April 2025. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Norfolk County Council's contract for the provision of Parent Carer Needs Assessment and Support service is due to end on the 31st of March 2025. The Council is currently scoping its requirements for a new contract to commence on the 1st of April 2025. Under the Children and Families Act (2014) parent carers have a right to a statutory assessment of their need for support if it is felt that they have needs for support, or if the parent carer requests an assessment. Additionally, under the Care Act 2014, there is a duty on local authorities to assess adult carers before the child they care for turns 18 (called a transitions assessment), if it appears the carer is likely to have needs for support once the child turns 18, and it would be of significant benefit for the carer to have a transitions assessment. The provider will be expected to provide high quality parent carer needs assessments and support to identified parent carers of children and young people who are aged up to 18 and who have special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), long term illness, mental health difficulties, substance misuse or other additional needs. This will include the provision of experienced, skilled, and qualified staff, who will develop key community partnerships and networks, helping parent carers navigate the right services, and will include the delivery of both 1-2-1 support and group work. The aim of the service will be to enable parent carers to improve their confidence in their ability to support and meet the needs of their child, helping to reduce crisis and need for other services, and improve relationships between parent carers and their family members including the cared for. The service will deliver this by improving the wellbeing of parent carers by reducing loneliness, isolation by providing opportunities to connect and meet other parents in a similar situation and improving their understanding of what support is available and enabling them to access this in a timelier way. Additional information: The market engagement event will take place on Wednesday 25th September 10 am - 12 pm (this date may be subject to change). Teams. Interested parties will need to register their interest on In-Tend (NCCT42818 Parent Carer Needs Assessment and Support ) and a separate invite will be sent. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/029641-2024 | | Notice type | Planning Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 17 Sep 2024 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 13 Oct 2024 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £510,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NORFOLK COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | NORWICH | | Post town | Norwich | | Postcode | NR1 2DH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH5 Norfolk | | ITL 3 | TLH51 Norwich and East Norfolk | | Local authority | Norwich | | Electoral ward | Lakenham | | Westminster constituency | Norwich South | | Delivery location | TLH15 Norwich and East Norfolk, TLH16 North and West Norfolk, TLH17 Breckland and South Norfolk | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services - 85300000 - Social work and related services - 85310000 - Social work services - 85320000 - Social services ## Release History - 17 Sep 2024 at 09:52 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/029641-2024 ## Notice URLs - http://www.norfolk.gov.uk - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/norfolkcc - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/norfolkcc/aspx/BuyerProfile - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/norfolkcc/aspx/BuyerProfiles - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/norfolkcc/aspx/Home ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
