CSI/CYP/Children’s Care and Support Services Framework

Across the (Bristol, North Somerset, South Gloucestershire) BNSSG footprint we have experienced a high demand for specialist support and personal care (often nurse led) for children and young people and often in emergency situations. BNSSG local authorities will enter into an inter-authority agreement with users of the framework and call off from this Care and Support framework.

There will be the possibility of a direct award, mini competitions, or a block arrangement, depending on the preferred option. The Integrated Care Board (ICB) will also call off from this framework.BNSSG Local Authorities want to work with good quality organisations, that are value for money and meet the needs of our children, young people, and their families. All three lots will require an Adversity and Trauma Informed Practice, but Lot 2 due to the children and young people supported, will require particular attention and expertise in this area, and this will need to be demonstrated.
