Tender description

DN2 is a partnership between Nottinghamshire County Council, Nottingham City Council and Derby City Council which has contracted with Outcomes for Children (part of the Polaris Children’ Services) to provide tailored interventions with specific cohorts of young people aged 10-16 years old. The aim of the programme is to support children and young people to achieve stable family type placements (e.g. stepping down from residential care with new types of support) and to remain at home with their families or primary carers where safe to do so. DN2 is seeking a robust evaluation of the intervention programme on both the impact it has had on the individuals that have been referred to the programme and whether the intended outcomes were achieved for each of the four cohorts.

About the buyer

Nottinghamshire County Council is a local authority whose procurement runs through a single, award-winning centralised team. Suppliers register on EastMidsTenders, the council's online tendering portal, to search for and submit tenders. Contracts above a published threshold are advertised there. The procurement team is organised into categories that mirror the council's own service areas, spanning adult social care, children's and cultural services, the chief executive's office and place-based services. A procurement pipeline lists contracts due for re-tender and new projects over the next two years, and is refreshed annually.

UK local government drives £140bn in annual procurement, led by social protection (£66.6bn) and education (£57.1bn).

Over the past 5 years, most of Nottinghamshire County Council's contract awards have been in health and social work, transport equipment and architectural and engineering services.
