As part of this commissioning activity, we would like to meet with interested Providers who feel they have the provision, skills, knowledge and experience to support this young man. Attached to this invitation Providers have been given 3 documents which outline the young man’s needs and the Council’s requirements to meet these needs. Any Providers who are interested in this opportunity will be allocated an individual one-hour timeslot to meet with the Social Work Care Team to discuss our young person’s needs and the support we require and how, as a Provider, you can meet those needs. The meetings will be held via Microsoft Teams and may be recorded for reference, the recording will be agreed at the start of each meeting. During individual meetings with Providers, the Council will want to explore: 1. Provider’s ability to meet young person’s needs as detailed in the Pen Portrait; 2. Provider’s ability to meet the Council’s requirements, as detailed in the Specification and Minimum Core Service Officer; 3. Timescales for commencement of service; 4. Potential service cost. Providers should come to these individual meetings fully prepared to discuss all of the items above. Following completion of this commissioning activity, the Council will enter into direct negotiations to appoint an appropriate Provider. Providers must express their interest by completing the attached Expression of Interest form and returning it to the Council by emailing Karen Brooksbank, karen.brooksbank@newcastle.gov.uk,no later than 5.00pm on Friday 19 January 2024.
