What the notice says

As part of our ongoing commitment to delivering an effective Early Help service, the Department of Community and Children’s Services has identified the need for a local authority funded offer of systemic therapy for children and families, which falls outside the scope of the NHS. The service will primarily support families who do not meet the threshold for a specialist CAMHS referral but may risk further escalation and intervention if left without support. The service may also support individual children and young people open to Children and Families Social Care, if deemed appropriate by the referring worker.

How to bid

  1. Read the full notice on Find a Tender, including any tender documents it links to.
  2. Register your organisation on the Central Digital Platform (through Find a Tender) if you have not already. Suppliers need to be registered to take part in procurements under the Procurement Act 2023.
  3. Follow the submission instructions in the notice; it does not name an e-tendering portal.
