Dorset Parenting Service

Tender description

This PIN is to request market intelligence on a Parenting Support Service with the intention to develop a procurement in 2024. Lot 1: NHS Dorset currently commissions a service that supports parents whose children present with challenging behaviour and have been diagnosed with or are at risk of developing a conduct disorder. The contract for this service will cease on 31.08.2024 and NHS Dorset wish to understand the scope of the market to support a future contract and service development.<br/><br/>Work is currently underway to identify and understand local population needs to ensure that a future service meets the highest priority needs to deliver a measurable impact on improved health outcomes for children and their families.<br/><br/>A future service will continue to provide direct support to parents to improve their skills and confidence to effectively support their children’s needs to improve their childrens future health outcomes.<br/><br/>The overarching focus will continue to provide support to parents to enable them to identify and effectively manage/improve their child's behaviours and result in a positive impact on the family’s future health outcome.<br/><br/>These behavioural support needs may relate to:<br/>• Challenging behaviour that may be linked to conduct disorder.<br/>• Neurodevelopmental.<br/>• Emotional well-being / mental health.<br/>• Early help and building resilience.<br/><br/>As such, this service will look to link through an integrated approach with the Dorset transformation and improvement programmes for CYP EWB & MH and the Neurodevelopmental pathway.<br/><br/>Within our current scoping we are looking at the potential for the service to focus on supporting parents of children within specific age groups (within the 0-18 year range).<br/><br/>A further consideration will be to understand any further specific support needs of different groups of parents such as teenage and young parents.<br/><br/>The service will be based upon the delivery of a range of evidence-based parenting programmes as well as evidence informed interventions and support to meet local needs.<br/><br/>The delivery of the service will need to be tailored to meet local access needs such as geography (including a place-based approach that supports the needs of local communities), access to digital technology and individual learning needs and goals. This will therefore include consideration of face-to-face delivery, virtual delivery and digital support mechanisms.<br/><br/>This service will meet the NHS Dorset ICB and Dorset ICS ambitions to make Dorset the healthiest place to live through the following ambitions:<br/><br/>• Prevention and early help: involve families in improving their health and well-being and as well as to improve equity and reduce inequalities in health.<br/>• Working better together: programmes and partners though emerging place-based teams to support needs identified by local communities as close to home as possible and ensure our resources result in improved outcomes.<br/>• Thriving communities: work with our communities and voluntary sector to help families thrive.<br/>This will mean that we will:<br/>• improve the lives of people impacted by poor mental health.<br/>• increase awareness of the steps parents can take and the support they can get to improve their family’s health.<br/>• improve outcomes in population healthcare and tackle inequalities in outcomes and access.
