Description

Newport City Council established the Family Support Service (FSS) in partnership with Barnardos in 2011 with both financially contributing to the delivery of the service.
The primary focus of the service is to provide support to children  ‘on the edge’ of care and their families by offering trauma informed and evidence-based services to reduce family breakdown and admissions into the care system.
The Council has retendered the service twice with the successful partner having to contribute financially to operate the service.  On the last occasion in 2017. Barnardos was the only supplier that submitted an offer against the ITT.   Monmouthshire County Council was also included.  The current contract is due to expire 31 March 2025.
A speculative notice was issued and although 2 providers did express an interest, after understanding the service requirement advised that they would not be able to tender.
This VEAT is to inform the market of Newport City Council’s including Monmouthshire County Council's intention to direct award a contract to Barnardos for a 5-year period with a possible extension of 5 years extended on an annual basis subject to review.  The contract will commence on 1 April 2025.

Overnight Short Break services for Children and Young People with SEND aged 2-18 Years and Adults 18+ with learning disabilities (LD) or disabilities

The procurement will be an above threshold procedure for services which are considered Light Touch Regime (LTR) in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023- Sections 9 & 10 and all other provisions of LTR under the Act and Council's Contract Procedure Rules. This arrangement constitutes a flexible "pseudo" framework (for clarity, not an Open Framework as defined under the Procurement Act 2023). The framework may be re-opened at any time, either to increase the number of participating providers or to replace those who have been removed. This action may be taken at the Council's reasonable discretion, where it is deemed necessary to ensure the framework continues to support the Council in meeting its statutory duties-specifically, to maintain sufficient capacity in terms of available placements and provider coverage. The Framework is composed of two Lots. Lot 1: Overnight Short Breaks Service for children and young people with SEND aged 2-18 years: The provision will provide overnight short break services that give children and young people to take a break and support for Parent/Carers in their caring role, which could reduce the occurrence of family breakdown. Lot 2: Overnight Short Breaks Service for Adults 18+ with learning disabilities (LD) or disabilities: The provision will provide overnight short break services that enable adults to take a break and support for Family members or carers in their caring role, which could reduce the occurrence of family breakdown.
