Description

Northamptonshire Children's Trust (hereafter referred to as the "Children's Trust") wishes to invite Tender Responses for the supply of services in respect of this requirement.

This specification covers providing Supported Accommodation for children in care and care leavers aged 16 to 21, for Northamptonshire, including, where required, out of county homes.  It excludes provision delivered by the Northamptonshire Children's Trust own provision or those already contracted under separate service contracts.

The primary role of young people's supported accommodation is to prepare our young people for independence and adulthood. Where each young person starts on this journey will be different and the rate at which they move through this journey will vary but our Supported Accommodation providers and their staff, through their support, will proactively work with our care leavers to ensure successful transition to adulthood where they will thrive.

Services that will be purchased by the Children's Trust will be individualised packages to meet the needs of our care leavers so that they are supported to successfully move onto adulthood and independence.

The  Children's Trust is setting up a Framework Agreement for the Provision of Supported Accommodation and Supported Hours for Young People aged 16 to 21 for an initial period of 50 months, with an option to extend for 36 months, making 86 months in total.

Services will be categorised by the following Lots that are described further in the specification:

•	Lot 1 - Supported Accommodation for 16 and 17 year-olds (must be registered with Ofsted) 
•	Lot 2 - Supported Accommodation for 18 to 21 year-olds 
•	Lot 3 - Additional Support Hours 

The Light Touch Regime (LTR) applies to the Services under this Framework Agreement, as per Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

Monitoring of School Attendance

Monitoring of School Attendance of Children and Young People in Care and Children and Young People with an Education, Health & Care Plan (OOC). Wolverhampton City Council (the Council) has a statutory duty to monitor the school attendance of children and young people in care placed in out-of-city independent placements, and for children and young people with Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs) attending out-of-city education settings. This duty is primarily governed by the Education Act 1996 and relevant Department for Education (DfE) statutory guidance. To fulfil this responsibility, the Council requires a service provider capable of delivering a robust service for collecting and monitoring attendance data for these two cohorts. The overarching aim is to improve school attendance among Wolverhampton pupils placed outside the city by delivering an effective, responsive, and informative service. This will enable the Council to identify and address poor attendance early, ensuring timely intervention in cases of unauthorised absence. The provider will be expected to achieve the outcomes outlined in the performance indicators and the successful provider is expected to deliver as follows: * Implement a robust and efficient attendance monitoring service that ensures accurate and timely collection of attendance data for all education provisions. * The service should support multiple methods of data acquisition to maximise coverage and reliability. This may include: • Automated extraction of attendance data from education management systems, where integration with the school or setting's system is both feasible and secure, • Alternative communication methods, such as direct phone call with provisions or settings, to ensure attendance data is captured even where MIS integration is not possible.
