Pre-Market Engagement - CAWT PEACEPLUS EASY Project: Early Intervention Support for Children, Young People and Families presenting with Neurodevelopmental Needs (SHSCT Area)

Description

Please note - This is a Pre-Market Engagement Exercise, this CFT is NOT a Call for Tender. The CAWT PEACEPLUS Early Intervention Support Youth Hubs (EASY) project aims to establish new cross border early intervention support services for families with children and young people presenting with traits consistent with a neurodevelopmental type need or who have been recently diagnosed with a neurodevelopmental condition. This procurement exercise and the subsequent service to be commissioned will cover only the Northern Ireland delivery area, which is located within the boundaries of the Southern Health and Social Care Trust (SHSCT). Separate procurement exercises will be conducted for other services under the EASY project in the Western Health and Social Care Trust area and in the relevant counties in the Republic of Ireland. By providing support based on presenting needs and symptoms, the Service aims to improve outcomes for children, young people, and their families by helping them access appropriate support that meets their needs, at the right time and in the right place.: • 1:1 consultation with parents offering assessment and meaningful/therapeutic conversation, leading to provision of support and guidance, signposting/navigation and introductory workshop. • Workshops and Parenting Programmes tailored to group/individual need. • Intensive individualised and bespoke supports for families. Please refer to the Pre-Market engagement Paper for additional details on the Service. As part of this Pre-Market Engagement a virtual information session will be held on Thursday 6th August, from 11:00am to 12:00pm, via Microsoft Teams. Providers may register to attend the information session as part of their questionnaire response, or, if they are not participating in the Pre-Market Engagement questionnaire, by emailing PaLSSocialcare.Sourcing@hscni.net to register their interest by the engagement deadline.
