Description

This service provides support to carers of all ages, ensuring that carers are recognised, valued, and supported around:
Their own health and wellbeing as a priority
Fulfilling their educational and employment potential
Maximising their income
Information and support in case of emergencies
This will be accomplished through a variety of activities including
Early identification of Carers
Emotional and Psychological support for Carers
Awareness raising and collaborative working with key stakeholders (Health, Social Care, Education etc.)
Information, Advice, Guidance and Training
Specialist support for carers who are caring for people with complex needs
A focus on prevention and targeted support for carers who are at risk of Domestic Abuse
Young Carers Assessments for Young Carers (Adult Carer assessments are conducted by an in-house team)
Contingency Planning and Support
Respite Care for Adult Carers
As a result, carers can maintain their caring role for longer, delaying the need for individuals requiring higher cost and longer-term adult social care.  
Following feedback gathered from key stakeholders, service users, and families through the development of the Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Carers Strategy 2023-2026 the following strategic intentions have been formed:
Strategic Intention 1a: Reaching and Identifying Young Carers
Strategic Intention 1b: Reaching and Identifying Parent Carers
Strategic Intention 2: Young Carers are supported when moving into adulthood 
Strategic Intention 3: Supporting Carers at risk of domestic abuse
Strategic Intention 4: Supporting the emotional and psychological wellbeing of carers
Strategic Intention 5: Joint working across health and social care for all Carers
Strategic Intention 6: Ensuring easy access to information  
The successful provider will be expected to assist, where possible, the council to achieve these goals. They will also be an important voice in the creation of a revised strategy during the contracts term
The tender will be divided into the following Lots, with a separate contract for each lot:
Lot 1 - Adult Carers
Lot 2 - Young Carers
The Authority proposes to enter into two Contracts (one for each lot) for a maximum period of 36 months (3 years), and two 12-month extensions options (up to a maximum contract length of 5 years), with the successful Bidders.
The anticipated service commencement date for both lots is 1st August 2025 which may be subject to change dependent on the Authority's governance and requirements.

North Northamptonshire Council - North Northamptonshire Council - Supportive Steps - Early Parenting and Child-Parent Relationship

North Northamptonshire Council (hereafter referred to as the "Council") wishes to invite Tender Responses for a 2 + 1 year Service to support early parenting and child-parent relationships. This service builds upon the two-year test-and-learn pilot, Supportive Steps, which Family Action has successfully delivered as part of the Family Hubs and Start for Life Programme. Initially commissioned in June 2023, the Pilot aimed to support parents with early parenting within the 1001 critical days, enhance parent-infant relationships, and provide early intervention for mild to moderate perinatal mental health challenges and parent-infant relationship difficulties. During the pilot phase, the service supported more than 150 families through targeted and universal interventions focusing on integrated, evidence-based parenting programmes and peer support. Given the success of this approach, we are now transitioning from a test-and-learn phase to a longer-term model. This next phase will embed key learnings from the pilot and align with North Northamptonshire's broader early intervention strategy, ensuring continuity of support while enhancing service effectiveness The Service will provide early parenting and child-parent relationship support for mothers, fathers, and co-parents with children under two years old, including children up to the age of five, to engage in evidence-based programmes, e.g., the Solihull Approach. The Council proposes to enter into one (1) Contract for an initial period of 24 months with the preferred Potential Supplier for each Lot, with an option to extend for 12 months, making 36 months in total. This is subject to further funding from DFE (Department for Education) Family Hub funding. The contract for this project will be awarded via the Open Process, 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.
