two.1.4) Short description
This PIN is an update to an already published notice (SEP459802) which was published on 30/09/2022. The text is below.
Multi-agency public sector partners in Aberdeen City are working to develop a Family Support Model to ensure that the services being
delivered to children and families are effective, prioritise early intervention and are aligned to The Promise and UN Convention on the
Rights of the Child. The changing landscape in national policy, legislation and increasing demand on services due to Covid-19 requires a
more responsive and agile system to meet the needs of children and families.
As part of this wider transformation programme, partners want to change how services are commissioned from the third sector by moving
towards a collaborative approach with the aim of developing an alliance to develop and deliver early intervention family support services to
children and families in Aberdeen City.
Aberdeen City Council is now embarking on these first steps of engagement with the wider market to start developing the outcomes of the
alliance.
Subject to necessary committee approvals, Aberdeen City Council aims to work to the following high-level timetable:
Now until September 2023 - development of new alliance model of commissioning
September/October 2023 – procurement of the new alliance
1st April 2024 – go live with new alliance
If you are interested in being part of developing the alliance or have experience of working in alliances and have the capacity to deliver
services in Aberdeen City then please contact Sarah Ward, Category Manager, Children’s and Housing Services
-sarward@aberdeencity.gov.uk for further details of a summary of the work undertaken so far in relation to the Family Support Model and
to receive further details nearer the time of the next engagement session to be held on 17th November 2022.
