CS/2019/PP-IORC PAUSE Derbyshire

Derbyshire County Council is seeking a provider to assist in delivering an innovative programme to reduce the number of children needing to enter the care system, namely the PAUSE Programme. It is intended to deliver the support through a cost-avoidance model over a 4-year period. The Council is committed to improving the Health and Wellbeing of 48 women through the provision of the PAUSE Programme throughout the life of the contract and is seeking a provider who has the experience, commitment, innovation and ambition to work in partnership with the Council to offer an intense programme of emotional, psychological, practical and behavioural support. This will result in a reduction in care proceedings and a subsequent reduction in costs associated with these, from which the Council's contribution to outcome payments will be met up to a maximum of £860,000.
