Published requirement description

The City of Wolverhampton Council is re-commissioning their Power2 Keyworkers support services.

The contract will be split into 3 lots:

Lot 1 - Lived Experience Mentoring & Trauma Informed Relationship Support;

Lot 2 - Trauma Informed Parenting & PACE Practice Support;

Lot 3 - Creative Therapeutic Support & Future Pathway Planning.

Power2 is a multi-disciplinary team dedicated to supporting children and young adults (10-25) who have experienced trauma, exploitation, or instability. Their approach is rooted in relational safeguarding, developmental trauma theory, and restorative practice. The team includes social workers, senior family support worker, social care worker, educational psychologists, drama psychotherapist, 3rd sector organisations who work collaboratively to build trust, emotional safety, and resilience in the lives of those they support. Power2 also champions contextual and transitional safeguarding-recognising that

risk often lies within the environment, compounding young people's vulnerabilities-and works to disrupt harmful dynamics through multi-agency collaboration.

  • The authority expects to re-tender this requirement around 15 Jan 2030, 23:59 GMT.
