The Department for Education is soliciting providers for the "Kinship Peer Support" project, aimed at enhancing local kinship carer support groups in the UK. This procurement falls under the community action programme category and is currently in the award stage, with a contract value of £1,865,851 over a period running from 4 January 2022 to 3 January 2023. The procurement process was an open procedure, and the deadline for submissions was 13 September 2021.

This tender presents significant opportunities for both small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) to engage in delivering critical support services to kinship carers, who often face emotional and practical challenges. Providers that have experience in community services or peer support initiatives, especially those with a focus on familial and child welfare, would be particularly well-suited to compete. Engaging effectively with kinship carers can not only bolster community resilience but also enhance your organisation's capacity and reputation in the sector.
