Tender description

EARLY HELP AND PREVENTION REVIEW REF: LCC/EHAP/2016 Introduction Submissions are invited for the services of suitably qualified and experienced person(s) to start work immediately on development of a broad medium term strategy for early help and prevention services. The Council?s detailed requirements, including deliverable are defined in the Terms of Reference in Section 3 of Request for Quotation document which is available to download by registering at: https://www.eastmidstenders.org/ The work must be completed by the end of April 2016 and within the allocated budget of £50,000. Background Early help and prevention services are seen as important and key to reducing demand on other County Council services. A considerable amount of work has been undertaken on prevention services and this is attached. It includes mapping and evidence gathering on a departmental basis, development of an evidence base, drafting of a target operating model (TOM) and initial business cases for integration. The Review The purpose of the review is to: ? Develop a broad medium term strategy for early help and prevention services that takes on board partner organisations? views. ? Agree a new TOM for County Council early help and prevention services that: o Ensures an integrated approach to commissioning and delivery of services o Is efficient o Focuses scare resources on services that make the biggest impact o Operates within available resources (A financial envelope will be provided within which services should operate over the medium term.) The review should focus on County Council services and how those services might be rationalised in the context of the purpose of the review and the background to it. That includes both the commissioning and delivery of services. Given the nature of the services, working with partners is clearly essential and the work needs to take account of partner views in developing a strategy and TOM. The review needs to develop an approach to delivery of both in house and externally provided services including overall commissioning activity. The report and presentation will be produced by the end of April 2016.
