This initiative, categorised under education and training services, alongside health and social work services, involves various suppliers supporting children and young people across eight districts including Cannock and East Staffordshire. The entire framework re-opening process follows an open procurement method, under the Light Touch Regime, and is now at the award stage.

Key dates include the initiation of the contract period from 1 April 2025 until 31 August 2028, focusing on increasing service capacity, especially providers of creative therapies in specific districts like East Staffordshire.
