About

Bristol City Council is seeking eligible, qualified therapists to deliver face-to-face therapy to children and young people subject to Special Guardianship Orders (SGOs) in Bristol; the council has a statutory duty to offer therapy to children with SGOs who have spent time in care and the therapy is funded by the DfE via the Adoption Support Fund. The council is establishing an Approved Provider List (APL) for direct awards under PSR 2024 Process B (Patient Choice) to commission individual bespoke therapy packages; this is not a framework and providers must complete an application and submit requested documentation for eligibility assessment, which will be reviewed by the commissioning team (allow up to 30 days). There is no end date to register interest for the duration of the contract term, and two provider support events are scheduled: Thu 15 Jan 2026 (https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/special-guardianship-order-therapeutic-support-contract-provider-event-2-tickets-1976162915477?aff=oddtdtcreator) and Tue 20 Jan 2026 (https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/special-guardianship-order-therapeutic-support-contract-provider-event-3-tickets-1976163860303?aff=oddtdtcreator).
