Every child and young person and their families or carers will get the help they need, when they need it, from people with the right knowledge, skills and experience to support them. This will be available in the form of easily accessible support close to their home, education, employment or community.’
The procurement is phase two of this funding, following a grant process delivered at the start of 2021.
Lot 2 is designed in light that there are some areas of need that are better addressed through a citywide approach or approaches. These Provider/s should offer joined up and holistic support to service users who will likely be in targeted groups more vulnerable to mental health difficulties or experiences resulting in distress, such as Family Adversity, Social Adversity, and Neuro-diversity.
It is anticipated the funding will last for up to 5 years. However, total budget and timescales for the whole procurement is dependent on Scottish Government Funding and therefore is subject to change.
