SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, September 4 (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Cabildo of Tenerife will entrust non-profit social initiative entities, through a social agreement, with the provision of management services for 180 places in residential care for boys, girls and adolescents, with custody or guardianship measures.
The Official Gazette of the Province (BOP) published this Monday the announcement regarding the bases of the call and the list of technical requirements for the selection of entities for the provision of this service that will be provided through a social agreement.
The Minister of Social Action, Águeda Fumero, assures in a note that “the modality of the social agreement, contemplated in the Social Services Law of the Government of the Canary Islands, makes it possible to guarantee a stable investment for the coming years.”
For Fumero, this will mean “one more step towards the revolution in social management, since it offers a stable framework of collaboration, which allows the provision of a comprehensive care service, ensuring compliance with the rights of minors who enter the child protection system in the form of residential care”.
The counselor also highlights that “this social concert lays the foundations for a change of model in the management of social services, which will make it possible for the administration to provide more effective and more specialized services, with the aim of responding efficiently to the personal needs of each of the users”.
The counselor also states that “thanks to this instrument, it will be possible to create, jointly with third sector entities, a system that responds to social needs in an agile and effective way.”
The duration of the concert is five years, extendable to seven, and will involve a total investment of 49,426,306.42 euros, on a multi-year basis. The agreement may be modified during its validity to address possible modifications to sector agreements.
