DN2 is seeking a consortium to deliver the specialist interventions to support young people with challenging behaviours and complex needs: • In Care, who are currently in residential care to step down to foster care, who are in foster care and at a high risk of placement breakdown, or of entering residential care, to remain in stable foster care, who currently are LAC but whom we are seeking to re-unify with their birth family or primary carers\. • Edge of Care - an intensive family intervention to support children and young people on the edge of care remain safely with their families / primary carers\. The project aims to help up to 400 children and young people over 4 years\. Further detail is provided in the procurement documents\. The DN2 Partnership is seeking an investor/provider/consortium to deliver the Services through a Social Impact Bond \("SIB"\)\. The SIB is an opportunity for the DN2 Partnership to establish a part-nership that will deliver innovation, and help move children and young people away from the trajecto-ries that often take shape alongside challenging behaviour born of challenging circumstances\. SIB's are a model in which socially-motivated investors fund the upfront costs for a provider\(s\) to deliver a public service\. Payment to the investor-provider/consortium is then made by DN2 Partnership on the basis of achieved outcomes\. The investor will be required to fund the provider\(s\) to deliver the service re-gardless of the achievement of such outcomes\. All applicants which satisfy the minimum require-ments set out in the SQ will be invited to participate in the tender stages of the competitive dialogue procedure\.
