Description

Provision of Sexual Exploitation Support Services for Children and Young Adults.
Walsall Metropolitan Borough Council is looking to contract with a provider for the Provision of Sexual Exploitation (CSE) Support Services for Children and Young Adults. This involves the delivery of services for young people who are at risk of sexual exploitation. Sexual exploitation results in children and young adults suffering harm, and causes significant damage to their physical and mental health. Some children and young adults may be supported to recover whilst others may suffer serious life-long difficulties.
The overall aim for the service is to reduce the risk of children who have been, or are at risk from being sexually exploited; and where CSE is taking place; these children receive comprehensive and specialist support, advice and guidance and are also signposted to the relevant partner agencies.
The contract is for 3 years (36 Months) with an indicative budget in the region of £180k- £200k and with the option to extend for a further year or 12 months. There is also a possibility that the scope of service provision may need to be increased during the lifetime of the contract due to anecdotal evidence of increasing numbers of exploitation. Although, at present, these are unknown variables, any increases in service provision will be limited to 50% of the original contract value.
