The group consists of representatives of the Neath Port Talbot Council, City and County of Swansea Council and parents who have experience of the child protection system or the children looked after system.The PAN steering group aims to promote parent voice, choice and participation in West Glamorgan. The PAN steering group identified there is a gap within the peer advocacy offering and has co-produced a service model with many parents over the previous three years.Following PAN's development of service model ideas, Neath Port Talbot Council and Swansea Council have been successful in securing Welsh Government grant funding to create a 2 year pilot regional service called the 'Parent Peer Advocacy and Support Service' (PPASS) and is preparing to launch a tender to commission this service.The PPASS service aims to improve and enhance the West Glamorgan regional advocacy network by creating a new form of peer advocacy and peer support for parents who are going through the child protection process, statutory assessment and/or the looked after children system.To deliver this service, the successful tenderer will employ, train and support a pool of 'Parent Peer Advocate & Support Workers' who themselves have direct, lived experience of the child protection system or the children looked after system, either as a parent or as a primary care giver.Neath Port Talbot Council will be the lead purchasing council on behalf of the West Glamorgan region and a tender is planned to be launched in January 2024 for a contract start date of 1st April 2024.Please submit all comments relating to this paper by Wednesday 3rd January 2024 to Katie Mackenzie-Owen, Contract Monitoring Officer (k.mackenzie-owen@npt.gov.uk)NOTE: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the Sell2Wales Web Site at https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=137192. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Sell2Wales | | Latest notice | https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=137192 | | Notice type | S2W Notice - Website Prior Information 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 | 12 Dec 2023 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Not specified | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NEATH PORT TALBOT COUNTY BOROUGH COUNCIL | | Locality | PORT TALBOT | | Post town | Swansea | | Postcode | SA13 1PJ | | Country | Wales | | ITL 1 | TLL Wales | | ITL 2 | TLL4 Mid and South West Wales | | ITL 3 | TLL44 Neath Port Talbot | | Local authority | Neath Port Talbot | | Electoral ward | Aberavon | | Westminster constituency | Aberafan Maesteg | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 79112100 - Stakeholders representation services - 85000000 - Health and social work services - 85300000 - Social work and related services - 85320000 - Social services ## Release History - 12 Dec 2023 at 09:03 - Planning - S2W Notice - Website Prior Information Notice - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=137192 ## Notice URLs - http://www.npt.gov.uk - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=137192 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
