The aims of this contract are to help provide stability and support for children aged 5 – 18 who are experiencing domestic abuse between their parents and/or carers. The aim is to support children who are currently living in the household or who have recently (3 months) vacated the household in which DA was occurring. The support offered should take a child centred approach, giving a voice to the young person (YP), and should cover a wide range of issues such as emotional impact, coping mechanisms and health relationship work. This is to be delivered in a series of bespoke 1:2:1 intervention which have been tailored in a way to suit the needs of the YP. The second aspect of the support offered is to parents and carers in helping them understand the impacts of DA upon their YP and how they might need to change or respond differently to the needs of their YP. Lastly, where direct support isn’t possible, the provider will be required to work with relevant DA professionals to ensure additional support routes may be offered. Examples of this are through training, sharing of resources or additional external support structures. The successful provider will need to work with fellow support professionals to ensure that the young persons needs are being met and their quality of life is improving. Said provider will also be required to act as an advocate for the YP where appropriate through engagement with further professionals. Please note that the service will not be supporting YP where there is domestic abuse within their own intimate/personal relationships or where there is direct sexual abuse/violence.

Cambridgeshire County Council is conducting preliminary market engagement in relation to the recommissioning of the Independent Special School (ISEP) and Out of School Tuition (OoST) frameworks.

Cambridgeshire County Council is inviting applications to join our DPS for Individual Service Funds Framework. Cambridgeshire County Council will be able to call-off the DPS. Individual Service Funds (ISFs) were formally introduced in the Care Act (2014), as an option for commissioning self-directed support. They are a mechanism by which a person's personal budget, agreed by a Social Worker, can be held by a third party organisation (i.e. neither by the County Council nor the person) who is a trusted organisation accredited by the County Council to help the person find the care and support they need in the local community, be it access to Homecare, Day Services, a Personal Assistant (PA), equipment needs, live-in care, social prescribing or signposting to other services and voluntary organisations that will help them achieve their agreed outcomes, or indeed a combination of all of the above. It is a form of Self-Directed Support. ISFs are particularly appropriate when people do not feel confident enough or have the capacity to manage the financial and employer responsibilities of a Direct Payment on their own but still prefer to exercise personal choice and control over how their agreed care and support needs are met. Some people who receive a Direct Payment may prefer the support of a local approved ISF Broker who can assist the person with support to plan their activities and care but would not themselves hold the budget responsibility this is why the ISF service requirements include separate clauses relating to: -providers delivering care and brokerage support (Lot 1 of the ISF Dynamic Purchasing System), and -providers brokering care and support delivered by other providers (Lot 2 of the ISF Dynamic Purchasing System). This is a re-advertising of 21129 CCC & PCC Individual Service Funds (The original notice cannot be updated due to a technical error).

Cambridgeshire County Council is due to recommission its Homecare Delivery service (currently a Dynamic Purchasing System - DPS) in November 2027. Provision of homecare for adults with an assessed care and support need is a statutory duty for local authorities. The service currently costs Cambridgeshire in the region of £54m each year and has a reputational impact for the local authority. The council has committed to improving the homecare offer available to local people as a key aim of its Care Together programme. Working with local people and communities, our intention is to reshape homecare to become more personalised, outcome focused, place-based and locally delivered. This ensures alignment with corporate ambitions (Strategic Ambition 4 and Our Future Council and departmental priorities (ASPIRE and Prevention Strategy). To deliver against these ambitions, the Homecare model we put in place in 2027 must:  • be more person-centred and locally delivered  • improve existing service and encourage innovation in support of local people, offering more choice, flexibility, and personalisation  • ensure that the council has access to quality and sustainable homecare provision  • explore efficiencies to help mitigate future demand growth for social care with balancing market shaping duties   • be aligned with the healthy ageing and prevention public health strategies where people are supported to remain independent.  We are inviting Homecare providers in to attend our upcoming online Provider Engagement Session.
