Description

Norfolk County Council is seeking to procure a service which is aimed at meeting two principal objectives within the National strategy: to reduce the suicide rate in the general population and provide better information and support for those bereaved or affected by suicide. The procurement will be delivering against Public Health and the National strategy for Suicide Prevention priorities with agreed targets and deliverables. It is important to support individuals, families and communities who have been affected by suicide. For this ‘postvention’ element of our work, we want to improve the way that we support people across Norfolk who have been bereaved or directly affected by suicide, with timely support and information. The delivery partner will support the postvention activities developed by, with, or for people who have been bereaved by suicide, to support their recovery and to prevent adverse outcomes, including suicide and suicidal ideation.
