Edge of Care / Early Help Services Consultation

Derby City Council is looking to procure an innovative community based service to support children, young people and families. The overall aim of the service is to safely prevent entry to and reduce the number of children and young people entering care within Derby City. The service will help maintain, where possible, children and young people within their families. The service will work using strengths based methods with families to enable them to build on their skills and develop their own strategies to manage difficulties; enabling them to manage difficult periods in their lives.

This consultation is not an invitation to tender. The Council, as the contracting authority, is issuing this request for information and feedback only, in order to assess the reaction of the market, secure feedback to improve the service, so that our potential procurement process is more focussed and efficient.

All responses to be submitted by email.
