The Health Service Executive on behalf of CAWT (Co-operation and Working Together) seeks to appoint suitably qualified service providers to a Bespoke Panel Arrangement; to deliver a variety of trauma informed and trauma specific interventions for families who have child/children aged 0-3 years and/or 11-13 years; who are at risk of experiencing multiple adversities in their lives.  Through early identification, intervention and provision of nurturing support within the family home and communities; these interventions build resilience.

The required services are listed as Annex XIV services, and accordingly, only Articles 74 to 77 of Directive 2014/24/EC apply to the award of any contract(s) that arise from this process.  As such, the HSE has some flexibility in conducting the tender process, and a Bespoke Panel Arrangement is being adopted whereby service providers that meet minimum requirements and capped costs are successful in their application for appointment to the Bespoke Panel Arrangement.  This Arrangement will address this complex multi-regional service requirement and will also allow new service providers to apply to join this Bespoke Panel Arrangement, on a three monthly basis, throughout its lifetime.

Individual contracts and SLAs will be finalised between the successful appointees to the Bespoke Panel Arrangement and TUSLA who will be managing the subsequent contracts, requiring the appointees to comply fully with the tender and local service delivery requirements and ensuring data is protected.  Appointment to this Bespoke Panel Arrangement does not guarantee any level of business to any appointee.
