What is being bought
Bristol City Council wishes to test the level of market interest in providing a service which provides support for families in crisis or at risk of or affected by care proceedings/child removal.
The aim of this service is to provide support to families in crisis in Bristol which improves outcomes for them and their children, reduces the need for social care involvement and reduces the number of children coming into care. The service will need to comprise of three distinct elements, which together will form the overall delivery model. The provider should have a demonstrable track record of delivering all three elements.
The provision must:
• Have an existing stable volunteer base in Bristol so referrals can be received and support offered from the beginning of the contract.
• Be able to support families with complex levels of need (eg families in crisis and in need, step down from fostering, care leavers in supported accommodation, families going through or post care proceedings).
