Kibble proudly collected two awards at the inaugural Supplier Excellence Awards held by Scotland Excel. The awards submission focused on Kibble's Secure Services which provide a safe and secure environment for young people (12-18) at risk of harming themselves or others. We aim to show young people their life can be very different to the one that led them to Kibble. Our Secure Services are unique in Scotland as they are integrated with the wide range of services offered throughout Kibble including education, employability and support. We offer an innovative approach to care, giving young people the opportunity to overcome their past and become responsible citizens, whilst also creating economic benefits by helping vulnerable young people transition out of local authority care to become well-adjusted contributors to society. Regular reviews of procedures and the budget are undertaken to ensure we continue to provide an effective programme of care that offers the best possible value to local authorities without compromising social outcomes.
The Awards, the first of their kind in public procurement, honour suppliers who demonstrate excellence through their participation in Scotland Excel's national framework contracts. Kibble was successful in the Excellence in our Communities and Excellence in Innovation categories for our work in delivering secure care places for young people aged between 12 and 18.
We also made it to the final of the Scottish Education Awards in the category for Enterprise and Employability Across Learning (Secondary). The awards were launched in 2001 by the Scottish Government and the Scottish Daily Record to recognise the achievements within Scottish education.
The winning streak continued as Kibble was awarded Investors in Young People (IIYP) Gold Accreditation. This prestigious accolade is Scotland's only people management award that recognises excellence in an employer's recruitment and retention of young people. It demonstrates Kibble's commitment to helping disadvantaged young people gain the skills, experience and confidence to build rewarding careers with bright futures.
We were also highly commended for our innovative model of providing integrated care, education and employability services. The accolade was given in the Best Service category at the GO Awards Scotland 2015/16. The awards are the highlight of Procurex Scotland Live 2015, the Scottish Government's annual procurement conference.
