As a means of supporting young people accessing the Credu Project, Swansea Council is specifically looking to source a provision that has a focus around careers/experience in the Military.

The majority of the pupils that will be accessing this provision demonstrate challenging behaviour in their education setting, confidence issues and have complex needs who have interest in practical activities. Whilst the provision will be delivered in a group setting, the ability to manage and meet the needs of individuals challenging behaviour and needs will be imperative.

These pupils have poor motivation and ambitions for the future so a provision that will engage the pupils in structured activities, which will help them to develop team-work, and communication skills: they need intensive support using engaging, hands-on, motivational activities. Guidance on appropriate behaviour, developing self-respect and respect for others, and reducing risk-taking behaviour is required. This provision must have Military focus.

II.2.4) Description of the procurement

Many young people who access the Credu Project face adversities in their lives and need to develop the ability to adapt well to change and difficulties. As a result of their personal circumstances pupils often demonstrate challenging behaviour, confidence issues and have complex needs.

We are looking for a provision that will offer additionally to statutory counselling services that can be delivered over a number of weeks. The provision must have a central focus on resilience and aim to build on areas the pupils can develop in order to achieve success in their future careers and life.

We would expect a programme to explore and develop key themes such as confidence, self-esteem, self-worth, self-belief, competence, competence, problem solving, support networks, security, and connections.

Providers/tenderers of this product lot will be required to be suitably qualified for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) or equivalent accredited Counsellor or Counsellors that are working towards the accreditation, and are members of a professional body with experience of working with children and young people.

We are looking for specific provision that will develop the skills to show initiative and resourcefulness. The design of the programme and duration of the programme can be varied but must focus on skills and aim to develop key themes such as showing initiative, risk-taking, resilience, problem solving, creativity, lateral thinking, blue-sky thinking, innovation, imagination and determination.

VI.4.3) Review procedure

Precise information on deadline(s) for review procedures:

The Council will incorporate a minimum 10 calendar day standstill period at the point information on the award of the contract is communicated to tenderers. This period will extend to 15 calendar days for communication by non-electronic means. Applicants who are unsuccessful shall be informed by the Council as soon as possible after the decision has been made. Should additional information be required it should be requested of the addressee in section I.1. If an appeal regarding the award of the contract has not been successfully resolved, The Public Contracts Regulations 2015 provide for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by breach of the rules to take action in the High Court (England, Wales, and Northern Ireland). Any such action must be brought promptly (generally within 30days). Where a contract has not been entered into, the Court may order the setting aside of the award decision or order the Council to amend any document and may award damages. If the contract has been entered into the Court may, depending on the circumstances, award damages, make a declaration of ineffectiveness, order the Council to pay a civil financial penalty, and/or order that the duration of the contract be shortened. If a declaration of ineffectiveness is sought, any such action must be brought within 30 days where the Council has communicated the award of the contract and a summary of reasons to tenderers, or otherwise within 6 months. The purpose of the standstill period referred to above is to allow the parties to apply to the Courts to set aside the award decision before the contract is entered into.
