Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council is inviting tenders for a new service titled "ASC0269 - Building Communication Skills In The First 1,001 Critical Days", aimed at enhancing communication skills for families where English is an additional language, particularly targeting women and families on the perinatal mental health pathway. This tender falls under the health and social work services category and will be conducted through an open procurement process. The contract is set to commence on 1 July 2022 and will last for an initial period of three years, concluding on 30 June 2025, with the possibility of extension until 30 June 2026, depending on performance. The tender period will close on 18 February 2022, and an online information session is scheduled for 1 February 2022.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social services, particularly those with experience in providing community support for bilingual families and mental health services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are especially well-suited to compete, as the contract aims to foster local service provision that emphasises bonding and attachment during early childhood development. With a contract value of approximately £186,667, there is potential for increased funding based on future allocations, making this a valuable opportunity for competitive service providers in the sector.

Notice Title

ASC0269 - Building Communication Skills In The First 1,001 Critical Days

Notice Description

Leicester City Council ('the 'Authority') invites Tenders for the provision of Building communication skills in the first 1001 critical days (for families where English is an additional language, and women/families on the perinatal mental health pathway). This new service for parents and their extended family networks is to support the development of their children's early communication skills, building upon the evidence base of the importance of the first 1001 critical days (from conception to 2 years), and the recently launched Speech and Language Strategy and Pathway. The service will have a strong focus on supporting bonding and attachment from the very earliest opportunity in a child's life. There will be two key groups that this service will work with: new and prospective parents on the perinatal mental health pathway, and families where there is more than one language spoken at home, usually where English is not the primary language. The proposed Contract will be for an initial period of 3 years to commence on 1 July 2022 to 30 June 2025, with an option to extend, subject to satisfactory performance outcomes and agreement by the Authority, for a further period or periods totalling up to a maximum of a further one year to 30 June 2026. The proposed service is based on current and known funding allocations. These could alter through the life of the contract in light of changes in future local and central government funding. The contract value assigned to this service for the initial period of 3 years to commence on 1 July 2022 to 30 June 2025 is PS140,000 exclusive of VAT. (If VAT is applicable, then the contract value inclusive of VAT will be PS168,000). Should additional funding become available during the contract period, then there may be an opportunity to extend the contract for a further period or periods totalling up to a maximum of a further one year to 30 June 2026. However, there is no guarantee that additional funding will become available. If the funding remains as per the initial contract period, then it is estimated that the contract value assigned to this service for the initial period including the contract extension option (1 July 2022 to 30 June 2026) may be PS186,667 exclusive of VAT. (If VAT is applicable, then the contract value inclusive of VAT will be PS224,000). The Authority will hold an online Tender Information Session conducted via Microsoft Teams on 1 February 2022 between 10:00 am to 12.00 pm. Further information on how to register for this session is contained within the ITT documentation. The Invitation to Tender document and its appendices and all other documentation issued to Tenderers sets out the details of the Authority's requirements and how to submit your Tender.
