Notice Description

This contract is for a delivery partner to deliver a National Centre for Family Hubs (NCFH) that will provide support to Local Authorities (LAs) in the implementation of the Family Hubs programme. In 2022, the Department funded the establishment of the National Centre for Family Hubs and Integrated Family Services (NCFH) to advocate for Family Hubs and disseminate best practices and evidence on integrated family service models. The NCFH provides expert advice and guidance to LAs, health partners, local commissioners, schools, and third sector bodies on setting up and developing Family Hub models. It hosts a resource library and implementation toolkit to support providers. Additionally, its activities are supported by a regular newsletter, learning events, and communities of practice (CoP) for peer learning, creating a community for sharing best practices. The Department is seeking to appoint a delivery partner through a new procurement process to continue, build upon, and enhance the NCFH's role.
