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.

Community Health Checks

An NHS health check is a tool for early identification of residents at increased risk of cardiovascular disease and offers support and signposting to individuals to enable them to make changes to lifestyles to reduce their overall risk. Community health checks will provide the delivery of an innovative, evidence-based, NHS Health checks service in the community that is delivered according to the national pathway excluding people with previously diagnosed vascular disease or who meet the criteria set out in Office for Health Improvements and Disparities/NHS Health Check/Best Practice Guidance. The programme will deliver health checks into the community targeting groups/communities where health checks have the lowest uptake i.e. men, people using drugs and alcohol, people from ethnic communities and people living in the 20% most deprived wards in Wirral. This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Contract Notice. The awarding of this contract is subject to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply to this award.'

Parent-Infant Relationship: Pregnancy Bonding and Attachment Training

North Northamptonshire Council seeks to commission a one-year training programme in pregnancy bonding and attachment, with a focus on strengthening relationships between parents and infants from the earliest stages of pregnancy through to the end of the first 1,001 critical days. Empowering expectant parents to form strong, positive bonds with their unborn babies and to nurture these relationships as their child grows. The total budget available for this opportunity is £38,000, and suppliers are invited to provide proposals that deliver against the requirements within this funding envelope. This programme will form a central part of the North Northamptonshire Family Hubs model, which has mobilised four Family Hub Networks across each locality (Corby, East Northants, Kettering and Wellingborough) to provide integrated, accessible, and family-centred support. To strengthen this offer, the training is designed for the Early Help workforce, operating within the Family Hub Network, which includes Best Start in Life (BSIL) practitioners, Service Managers, Early Years Practitioners, and Family Hub Connectors. By embedding this training in Family Hubs, services will be equipped with the skills, confidence, and consistency needed to support parents in building strong bonds with their babies from pregnancy and beyond. The Training Programme aims to: • Strengthen the capacity of the Family Hub workforce to promote and support bonding and secure parent-infant relationships from pregnancy onwards. • Equip practitioners with evidence-based knowledge and skills to recognise, prevent, and respond to perinatal mental health and bonding difficulties. • Build a shared language and approach across the workforce to improve consistency of practice and ensure families receive joined-up support. • Promote inclusive practice that recognises and values the roles of fathers, partners, and diverse family structures in early bonding and attachment. • Contribute to the delivery of the North Northamptonshire Perinatal Mental Health and Parent-Infant Relationships Strategy (2024) by addressing the identified gap in workforce development.
