This opportunity is for the Re-Opening of the Provider Panel for Intensive Support and Crisis Intervention Services for children, young people and their families.
The Council is seeking to add to the provider panel of multiple providers that can provide a managed service for intensive support and crisis intervention services for County Durham children, young people, and their families.
The Provider Panel has FIVE Lots based on category of need of the child as detailed per below:
Category of Need 1 - Children with social communication needs, including learning disability and / or autism
Category of Need 2 - Children with severe and enduring mental health needs incorporating self-harming and self-injurious behaviour
Category of Need 3 - Children who are at risk of further offending and anti-social behaviour
Category of Need 4 - Children who are at risk of criminal exploitation, sexual exploitation and / or radicalisation
Category of Need 5 - Parent and Baby packages - where the child is at risk of neglectful parenting that fails to promote the child's wellbeing and day to day safety
There are two banded delivery models as per below:
Package Type 1 - 24-hour packages covering 7 days / nights per week incorporating sleeping and waking nights and all public holidays with a minimum staffing ratio of 2:1. Please note Parent and baby packages operate 1:1
Package Type 2 - In reach / out-reach packages provided Monday to Sunday in line with the child's needs that operate flexibly covering both days and evenings but do not incorporate sleeping or waking nights
This Provider Panel is a flexible agreement where, at the sole discretion of the Council, it may open the Panel to allow additional providers to be added to its membership. However, at the discretion of the Council, the Panel may remain closed should commissioners deem there be sufficient panel members to meet demand.
The Council makes no guarantee to any member of the Panel that they will be awarded any Call-Off Contract and no guarantee is made in respect of any volume of work under any such agreements, or in aggregate under the Provider Panel.
Each Provider should understand that their submission constitutes an acceptance to the Council of the terms of the Provider Panel Agreement. A place on the Panel merely affords the Provider the opportunity to respond to an invitation from the Council for the provision of services (Call-Off).
The Provider Panel Agreement provides for no form of exclusivity or volume guarantee by the Council for Services from the Provider and that the Council is at all times entitled to enter into other contracts and agreements with other Providers for the provision of any Services.
