Description

Children and Young People are one of the most vulnerable groups in our society and the council has a responsibility, in conjunction with partners to act in the best interests of the Child or Young Person to ensure their wellbeing.
The Children and Young People Scotland act 2014 sets out that relevant services in relation to Children at risk of becoming looked after be made available. Family Group Decision Making (FGDM) services are specifically cited as a relevant service under the 2014 Act (Relevant Services in relation to Children at Risk of Becoming Looked After etc.) Order 2016.
FGDM is a strength based, solution-focused model (rather than a deficit-based problem-focused one). It is recognised that families have the ability to identify their own solutions to the challenges they face. Recognising and developing supportive relationships within families to meet the needs of the child are fundamental to family decision making services. Family Group Conference (FGC) is one of the main practices within FGDM.
The service will be provided on a referral basis for the provision of
Family Group Decision Making including pre and post Family Group Conferencing and support.
It is expected that the service will support approximately 70 families per year.
It has been recognized that this service will be required to be procured on a long-term basis as a specific requirement is that the FGC coordinator is independent. It is therefore considered that a contract of 4 years plus up to 48 months extension is considered.

COV - West Midlands Children's Regional Residential Care Framework (2025)

This framework is for the provision of children's residential care across the West Midlands region. Coventry City Council is the lead local authority for the new framework, which can be accessed by the 14 West Midlands Local Authorities/Trusts and their successors/any successor bodies of any of the 14 entities. The West Midlands Children's Residential Care Framework aims to be the primary means by which residential care placements are sourced in the region from the independent market. Renewing the framework is therefore central to the West Midlands Local Authorities and Children's Trusts' strategy for securing sufficient residential care homes to meet need in the coming years. Please see tender documents for more information about the new framework and how it will be awarded. The tender documents can be downloaded from Coventry City Council's e-tendering website www.csw-jets.co.uk. The framework value of £4,946,000,000 exc. VAT includes potential framework extensions of two increments of 3 years. This is a Flexible framework (and for the avoidance of doubt NOT an Open Framework as defined by the Procurement Act), which shall be re-opened at least annually and there will be additional re-openings, at any time if in the reasonable opinion of the Council the flexible framework needs to be re-opened to enable the Council and any Placing Authority to discharge their statutory duties in relation to Children in Care and the current number of providers and homes do not offer sufficient capacity in terms of residential placements available across the West Midlands region. If a Provider fails to be admitted onto the Framework or a home fails to be added to the framework, the provider may reapply for re-consideration during any of designated Framework reopening term(s) to demonstrate that the framework requirements can be met. See Section 2.11 Flexible Framework Reopening Process in Part 1 - Information pack of the tender documents for further details regarding the framework re-opening process.
