Description
Croydon Council is seeking to procure a specialist service for children and young people affected by child exploitation including sexual, criminal and County Lines. The provision of this service will enable the Council to respond and to deliver a comprehensive support programme to the most vulnerable children and young people in the borough, which will further strengthen the offer of a targeted service for adolescents who are risk of or are being exploited. The service will provide a range of activities from intensive one to one interventions to guidance and support for parents and carers of those identified young people to enable understanding of risk and safety strategies, build on self-esteem and emotional health as well as developing healthy peer relationships. The overall aim of interventions will be to reduce the vulnerability of identified young people aged 17 and under. The new service will provide both shorter term (up to 3 months) and longer term (up to 6 month) interventions for up to 50 children and young people at any given time. It is anticipated that specialist interventions will be provided for an average of 24 weeks, dependent on need, with reviews undertaken every 2 months. The contract term will be for a period of 2 (two) years with the option to extend for a further period of 12 months. The anticipated contract start date will be the 1st August 2019. The overall value of the contract is estimated at £375,000. This tender process is being carried out under a one stage open tender procurement under the Light Touch Regime of the PCR 2015 for the purposes of procuring the contract. The Council requires the successful Service Providers to comply with the London Living Wage. All potential suppliers are advised to read the supporting documents listed on the London Tenders portal, prior to responding to the invitation to tender. The deadline for returning your tender is: 12:00:00 noon on 8th March 2019.
