The Child and Family Safeguarding Pilot is part of the i-access service and has a number of months of funding remaining with commitment to secure future funding already being explored.

This procurement is for subcontracted aspects of i-access as outlined in the specification. The subcontractor will work in collaboration with SABP and Public Health. The subcontractor’s staff will work with SABP staff to deliver the i-access service. They will be based in the SABP i-access bases.

two.2.4) Description of the procurement

This procurement is for subcontracted aspects of i-access as outlined in the specification. The service provider will work in collaboration with SABP and Public Health. The service provider’s staff will work with SABP staff to deliver the i-access service. They will be based in the SABP i-access bases and in Surrey County council bases for the Child and Family safeguarding pilot.

The i-access bases are:

• Farnham Road Hospital, Guildford

• Abraham Cowley Unit, St Peters Hospital site, Chertsey

• Wingfield Centre, Redhill.

The Child and Family Safeguarding Service bases are:

• Guilford Council – St Francis House

• Woking Council – Quadrant Court

• Walton Council – Ashley Park House

• Redhill Council – Consort House.

SABP and Public Health do not require any Service Provider to try and reduce the financial envelope. The financial envelopes are as stated below:

• Main Sub-contract - £456,988 per annum (for 3 Years with the option to extend for 2 periods of 12 months each)

• Family Safeguarding - £378,000 per annum (maximum funding envelope) for one (1) year on a pay as you go basis based on actual posts/staff recruited in-month and up to 10.00% overhead.

Service Providers should note that bids under the financial envelope stated above, will not gain an advantage on evaluation. As outlined in the service specification, open book accounting is required. It is therefore important that Service Providers cost their overheads accurately as per the financial spread sheet (for main contract not the child and family safeguarding pilot). A blanket percentage overhead will not be accepted for the main contract. An up to 10.00% overhead for the child and family safeguarding project has been set and cannot be changed for the duration of the pilot. The staffing costs for the child and family safeguarding project are on a “pay as you go basis based on actual posts/staff recruited in-month and overhead”. Any underspend funding will be re-invested back into the SCC and SABP Co-operative.

We understand that when delivering a service there can be unexpected costs. Mitigation for those costs are discussed and agreed in the programme board, on which the successful Service Provider will sit. The financial approach to this contract is one of openness, transparency and collaboration.
