Description

D2 (Derby City Council and Derbyshire County Council) are working together to procure a block contract to deliver 2 x 2bed specialist homes across the D2 footprint with a joint commissioning and delivery approach between the Derby and Derbyshire ICB (Integrated Care Board) and LAs (Local Authorities), to provide services for CYP with challenging behaviour and/ or complex mental health needs we can significantly improve outcomes for this group. The service will be supported by a wrap-around therapeutic support offer from Derby and Derbyshire ICB and priority working from Social Care due to the complexity of need. The tender comprises of 2 homes, one of which will be provided by the local authority (Derby City Council) and operated by the provider in accordance with the lease agreement and the other one (Derbyshire County Council) will need to be purchased or leased by the provider who will retain full responsibility for the property. The homes are being developed to provide short-medium stays for children at risk of inappropriately entering CAMHS inpatient services, moving from these services, and/or where there has been a history of placement breakdown due to behaviour which challenges where emotional/mental health is a core factor. Support will focus on stabilisation to enable transition to a longer-term placement. As part of the procurement process, we would like to consult initially with the market on the feasibility of the model of delivery with a D2 tender with a number of questions we would like potential providers to respond to. A more detailed overview of the requirement is provided in the attached summary document.
