Description
YPO is exploring the establishment of a new, values-based Children's Homes Framework to secure high-quality, stable, and locally-based homes. The specific purpose of this PME is to: • Inform the Market: Provide early notification of our intent to procure a new Framework for children’s services. • Refine the Operating Model: Seek insight from prospective providers to shape the Framework structure, Lotting strategy, commercial models, and service specifications. • Gauge Capacity and Capability: Understand the market's capacity to deliver high-quality, values-based services and a commitment to strategic partnership. • Explore Strategic Collaboration: Specifically engage with providers who are ready to move beyond transactional commissioning and work as strategic partners with commissioners to co-design and co-deliver system-wide improvements. • NOTE: The framework is NOT intended for the purposes of spot purchasing. We are specifically seeking to engage with providers (including SMEs, charities, and larger organisations) whose core values align with our commitment to: • Child-Centred Outcomes: A focus on long-term stability, excellent welfare, and therapeutic outcomes for children and young people. • Transparency and Openness: A willingness to share cost data, capacity projections, and actively participate in joint planning to improve sufficiency. • Innovation and Flexibility: Readiness to explore and develop diverse, blended models of care to meet complex and evolving needs, reducing reliance on distant and high-cost spot placements. We are particularly interested in hearing from organisations that can demonstrate a track record, or a clear strategy, for a long-term strategic relationship with Local Authorities, focusing on joint risk management, quality assurance. Proposed lot structure Lot 1: Children's Social Care Consultancy Lot 2: Strategic Commissioning of Children's Home Provision Lot 3: Children’s Home Managed Solution Providers who wish to find out more and take part in the engagement should email [email protected]
