Description

Derby City Council (the Council) is undertaking this procurement on behalf of itself and the Derby and Derbyshire NHS Integrated Commissioning Board to establish a contract for the provision of an Emotional Health and Wellbeing Service for Children in Care.
We seek a single provider, lead provider, or consortium to deliver a trauma informed service which embeds and delivers interventions to children in care (CIC) and their therapeutic parenting team which meets their individual emotional and mental health needs and creates stability in placements.
The service will ensure the needs of the child are paramount, using a range of interventions via direct or indirect work. This will deliver to all children in care who meet the inclusion criteria, including those children who are placed within the Local Authority boundaries from other areas. It will also include those who are cared for by the Local Authorities approved foster carers, that live never more than 5 miles outside of the Derbyshire Footprint.
The overall aim of the service is to improve the emotional health and wellbeing of CIC via direct support to the child and / or indirect support to the therapeutic parenting team.
The service will offer a range of appropriate evidence based, trauma informed interventions, both group and one to one. The service is not expected to prescribe medications, nor does it need to be CQC registered.
In addition to the core specification, we are including a two year "proof of concept" service for Children in Care with complex needs through a Coordination and Advisory Team.
The contract term for this element of the specification is 19 months; commencing in line with the core requirement on 1st September 2025 and expiring 31st March 2027. (the incumbent provider is expecting to commence the service within its existing service delivery from April 2025).
