Description

We are seeking expressions of interest from providers who would be interested in tendering to become our Strategic Partner for the development and running of children's homes and step down accommodation.

We want to prevent our most vulnerable children from being sent across the country, breaking their support networks in the city, experiencing additional trauma, and developing heightened dysregulation through a cycle of placement moves that provide few opportunities to engage in trauma-informed therapeutic work, and to develop resilience.

This opportunity will be a single provider framework, with key projects to be called off
Contract length will be for 7 years with the option to extend for further 2 + 1 years.
