Bristol City Council awarded a contract to CF Contact and Support Services Ltd for the development and running of children's homes and step-down accommodation.

The contract is a single provider framework with key projects called off, valued at £27,300,000, and runs for 7 years with options to extend for 2 + 1 years.

The purpose is to prevent vulnerable children from being sent across the country, breaking their support networks, experiencing additional trauma, and developing heightened dysregulation through placement moves, while providing opportunities for trauma-informed therapeutic work and resilience development.
