Tender description

Northamptonshire Children's Trust (NCT) is seeking a partner to develop (including the project management of any refurbishment and adaptation) and then manage on their behalf this home for children with complex needs. Northamptonshire Children's Trust (NCT) is an independent, not-for-profit company established in November 2020 to deliver the best possible opportunities for the children in Northamptonshire. Our responsibility is to deliver children's social care and targeted early help services on behalf of West Northamptonshire Council (WNC) and North Northamptonshire Council (NNC); replacing Northamptonshire County Council from 1 April 2021. Part of NCT's role is to support the WNC and NNC Sufficiency Duty to take steps that secure, so far as reasonably practicable, sufficient accommodation within the authority's area which meets the needs of children that the local authority are looking after, and whose circumstances are such that it would be consistent with their welfare for them to be provided with accommodation that is in the local authority's area.
