Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Northumberland County Council is conducting a tender to establish a contract aimed at linking families in need with local volunteers for support during crises. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to enhance early intervention and prevention services, ultimately aimed at reducing child neglect and the number of children entering care. The procurement process is currently in the Tender stage, with a submission deadline on 16th August 2019. The contract is valued at £75,000 per annum, with services primarily required in the South East Northumberland area. The contract period is set to commence on 1st October 2019 and will continue until 30th September 2021.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses focused on social services and community support. Companies that provide volunteer management, family support services, or social work-related solutions would be particularly well-suited to compete. Additionally, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community sector enterprises (VCSEs) can leverage their unique capabilities to fulfil the requirements of this contract. Engaging in this tender could lead to increased visibility and growth within the Northumberland region, as well as the possibility of establishing long-term relationships with families in need.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Service to link families in need with local volunteers who can offer help and support

Notice Description

Northumberland County Council is seeking tenders to establish a Contract to link families in need with local volunteers who can offer help and support at a time of crisis. The aim is to provide short term assistance to families requiring additional support as part of a range of early intervention and prevention services designed to prevent children becoming "looked after". The aim is to stabilise families preventing child neglect and abuse and reducing the flow of children going into Looked After Care, thereby improving outcomes. The service should be able to offer bespoke packages of support, delivered through a network of volunteers providing a community solution for families in crisis or in need of support. The aim is to develop strong relationships between volunteers and families, strengthening family capacity and promoting self-sufficiency through both modelling behaviours and providing support for positive parenting. It is anticipated that up to 65 families per year will require support, based predominantly within the South East Northumberland area with development over the lifetime of the contract in support required in the north and west of the County. The value of the contract will be capped at PS75,000 per annum, including all expenses. Further details of the Contracting Authority's requirements under the contract and other relevant information are given in the Specification at Schedule 2 of the tender documentation.
