Overview
The Council is procuring the service detailed in the specification using a bespoke 'Restricted procedure' under the Light Touch Regime ('LTR') subject to limited regulation and will be conducted in accordance with regulations 74 to 76 PCR 2015. The Service aim is to increase the number of Derbyshire children with disabilities appropriately placed in local specialist fostering provision to age 18, or beyond.
These children may have experienced multiple placement endings and their needs and behaviours will have led to either a placement in residential care or identification as a child on the cusp of residential care. DCC is particularly keen to return to Derbyshire children placed 'at a distance'.
The Project will provide high quality specialist foster care that nurtures and supports the children to achieve their full potential. The Provider for an 'all-inclusive' bid price will stabilise placements during volatile or crisis periods by delivering additional and flexible support to the carer and/or placed child.
