Lot 1: Norfolk County Council’s Multi Provider Light Touch Regime Framework for the provision of Assessment, Therapy, and Family Support Services is due to end on 31st March 2023. Work is currently being carried out to scope the requirements for a new framework that will commence on 1st April 2023. It is likely that the Framework will be split into Lots and part of the scoping exercise will be to determine how this may look. Key Services/Provision areas potentially in scope include the following but we would expect Providers to be adaptable and flexible to develop services/provisions as required.Assessments: Lot will include all types of Assessments applicable to Social Care, will include face to face and/or virtual consultations, and will require a comprehensive final report of findings. Family Support Services: Lot will include all available types of practical Family Support, with flexibility to include multiple levels of staff training, skill and reporting. Independent Social Work: Lot for the provision of fully qualified Social Workers, to complete Statutory and Expert Assessments, Reports and to carry out direct work with children. ISWs may also be required in an advice and guidance capacity to supervise Family Support Work.Therapy: This area is changeable and expanding and we are encouraging Service Providers to list all therapy and therapeutic services available, as, moving forward, our focus will be on Outcomes for children, young people and families. Emergency Cover: Defined as Family Support, including 24/7 Support, required to start immediately or at very short notice.Other: This Lot is available for Providers to add and list services which cannot be categorised under any of the above headings.
