What is being bought

The Provider will complete a comprehensive triage of referrals made by Liverpool City Council to ensure the clients meet the criteria for the service, identifying 32 families who are on a trajectory to have their children removed by the Courts. The service will provide trained mental health practitioners and psychologists who will complete intensive interventions to improve the mental health and wellbeing of parents who are unable to meet the needs of their children. The practitioners will support the parents until professionals are satisfied that the risks to the children have reduced significantly enough to halt the progression to court/remove Child Protection plan. The contract will start on the 29/04/26, expire on 30/04/27 and has a contract value of £396,562 excluding VAT following the Direct Award Process C in accordance with the Provider Selection Regime 2023. The provider will consider the most appropriate delivery method on a case-by-case basis. Individual plans that respond to the needs of the family will be put in place and the provider will deliver the service to respond to the plan that is put in place. The service will deliver intensive therapeutic interventions, either in the family home, therapy room or virtually. The decision about how the interventions are delivered will be informed by the views of the service and the preferences of the family.
