It favours small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) due to its focus on early family support and resilience building. The awarded contracts include significant annual value allocations to suppliers such as The Stoke-on-Trent and District Gingerbread Centre Limited, Sickle Cell & Thalassaemia Support Project, and Malachi Specialist Family Support Services CIC. Businesses proficient in deploying lead worker models and equivalent services compliant with safeguarding standards are especially well-suited to participate and succeed in such procurement processes.
