The offer will include training and consultancy support for schools in relation to whole school approaches to Nurture, the development and practical implementation of school-level Nurture Groups and provision of an accredited emotional wellbeing assessment tool. It will also include supporting schools to engage positively with parents /carers as partners in developing whole school and individual nurture strategies, facilitating informal networks of participating schools, and working in close collaboration with local partners and practitioners to support the longer-term sustainability of the model beyond the contract lifetime. We are looking for a provider with experience of delivering evidence-based programmes of Nurture training to schools at scale that have already been externally evaluated, and which offer the opportunity for participating schools to gain a recognised accreditation. It is KCC's intention to award the contract for 3 years, to begin in September 2021. The maximum contract value over the contract lifetime will be £900,000. This procurement process is being conducted in accordance with the Light Touch Regime as it involves the purchase of educational and training services which are included in Schedule 3 of The Public Contracts Regulations 2015. This will therefore be a bespoke two-stage tender process with an optional negotiation period. Tenderers are initially asked to return their responses to the Mandatory Selection Questions by 12.00 (midday) on the 19th April 2021. These responses will be evaluated and it is anticipated that the Invitation to Tender documents will be released to providers who have been selected from the Mandatory Selection Questions on the 27th April 2021.
