Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education is initiating a public procurement process titled "Family Group Conferencing Market Work CF," within the health and social work services industry. This process is currently in the planning stage, with an early engagement notice published on 25th November 2024, and a due date for engagement ending on 11th December 2024. The initiative seeks to gather insights from suppliers to develop a legislative policy mandating local authorities to offer Family Group Decision Making (FGDM) meetings to families at the pre-proceedings stage. A pre-market engagement event will be held online on 12th December 2024, from 14:00 to 15:00, to provide further information and collect feedback from potential suppliers.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses involved in training facilitators for FGDM meetings, particularly those experienced with the Family Group Conferencing (FGC) model. SMEs and VCSEs are especially encouraged to participate, given the Department's interest in gathering diverse perspectives from organisations of all sizes. By engaging in this process, businesses can influence the development of important policy, expand their market presence, and contribute to significant social initiatives aimed at supporting families and keeping children safe. Suppliers interested in attending the pre-market engagement event should express their interest by emailing Vicki Gregg by midday on 11th December.

As part of this process, we are interested in gathering insight from suppliers and organisations of all sizes in the following areas: Providers of training for staff involved in FGDM meetings (including but not limited to the specific FGC model). We will use a number of different routes to gather feedback and insight, including questionnaires and in-depth sessions.
