two.2.4) Description of the procurement
Glasgow City HSCP is seeking a high-quality, forward-thinking organisation(s) to deliver a person centred multiple risk programme for young people affected by/or at risk from risk taking behaviours. This programme will complement the work of the HSCP workforce and partners. This programme of work will provide an important contribution to the young people’s overall wellbeing including components outlined in the mental health improvement framework. (See Appendix 1).
The provider will be responsible for developing the programme content, interventions (with agreed outcomes, content and duration) and relevant support resources as required, screening tools, implementing and evaluating interventions and overall service delivery.
The multiple risk approach taken with the successful provider of this contract should include a combination of 4 different elements:
1. Knowledge base – potential risk-taking behaviours including alcohol, drugs, tobacco, gambling, sex, online activities and antisocial behaviours. Links should also be made to the children and young person’s mental health and wellbeing strategy and the existing NHS sexual health and relationships programme delivered in schools.
2. Social competence – coping, decision making and resistance training.
3. Social influence – social norms, peer, family and media influences.
4. Resilience building – asset building approaches and protective factors.
It is expected that flexible, culturally appropriate approaches will be used and that bidders will demonstrate a sophisticated understanding of the pattern of inequalities in Glasgow City and of the barriers in working in communities where people experience multiple vulnerabilities including poverty in many forms alongside trauma, loneliness and isolation.
To maximise impacts, the programme should deliver both outcome and solution focused interventions. A key focus of the contract is in developing resilience and capacity to enable young people to better deal with challenges or adversity in their lives. Interventions should be time limited with ongoing service user reviews built into the structure.
The programme will be delivered to young people (primarily aged 12-19) via the Youth Health Service (YHS) across the city who require support to address risk taking behaviours. The programme will be delivered as part of an integrated team approach within the Youth Health Service.
The Youth Health Service is delivered in 9 venues across the city, 1 evening per week per venue and the successful supplier will be expected to deliver the Multiple Risk 1-2-1 programme as part of the YHS model within the same premises.
two.2.13) Information about European Union Funds
The procurement is related to a project and/or programme financed by European Union funds: No
