Prior Information Notice, for the purpose of inviting interested providers participate in Market Engagement event(s). The Council has a statutory duty to provide services to those requiring care. In respect of Disabled Children and Young People (DCYP) this is under the Children Act 1989, section 17. The intended services will provide support to disabled children, young people (up the age of 18 years) and their families in a variety of ways, including but not limited to: • Achieving outcomes agreed upon in the Child Support Plan or Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) • Supporting personal care and hygiene • Assisting family members with tasks related to the child or young person • Promotion of well being and safeguarding • Promoting independence • Breaks from caring, for parents/carers The intended framework will need to respond to the current needs and demands in relation to disabled children and young people’s domiciliary care needs in Kent.

Kent County Council intend on holding a series of workshops to explore the various options available and to give providers an opportunity to help to shape the new service. PLEASE NOTE That this Market Engagement Event will take place on 24th September from 11am-12pm. [...]

This is a procurement carried out under the Provider Selection Regime 2023 - Route 3 Competitive Procedure On 4 October 2023, the government published Stopping the start: our new plan to create a smokefree generation, which considered the recommendations detailed in the independent review and sets out the proposed actions the government will take to tackle smoking and youth vaping.

In total the funding will aim to support around 360,000 people to quit with 198,000 successful quits (measured as four-week quits). From this funding, the Council is seeking to reduce the amount of people smoking through increasing engagement with smokers from priority groups (identified by The Council’s Tobacco Control Needs Assessment), in line with the conditions of the Local Stop Smoking Services and Support Grant 2024-2025. List of priority groups this service will target: • Routine and manual workers • Long term sick and unemployed • Social housing tenants • People in the community with mental health issues • Ethnic minority groups • LGBTQ+ community • People experiencing homelessness • People supported by the Criminal Justice System • Smokers in substance misuse treatment services • Young people who smoke and vape (aged 12-25) The overall aim of the Service is to increase the number of [...]
