UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Bromley is seeking tender submissions for the provision of music-based early intervention services for parents and their children, to be conducted at six Children and Family Centres and other related venues within the borough. The tender falls under the industry category of Health and Social Work Services (CPV code 85000000). The procurement process is currently in the tender stage with an open competition approach, aimed at selecting suppliers who are capable of delivering tailored services to address specific community needs without duplicating existing statutory provisions. The submission deadline is set for 29 September 2025, and the contract will commence on 1 April 2026 for an initial period of one year, potentially extending up to 31 March 2030 based on a 1+1+1+1 renewal structure.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) specialising in early childhood development through music and other interactive activities. Businesses with expertise in offering innovative educational programmes to young children, particularly those incorporating music, signing, and rhyming, will find this tender particularly suitable. Engaging in this contract can facilitate long-term partnerships with the borough, aligning business growth with community service, and meeting the evolving needs of the local population. The council's procurement process favours tenders offering the most advantageous solutions, and multiple suppliers may be awarded contracts for parts of the required services.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Music - Early Intervention Services for Parents and Their Children Within the 6 Children and Family Centres and Other Related Venues

Notice Description

Activities for parents with their children, involving music to enrich and stimulate their children's early brain development and to improve their readiness for school. Incorporating other skills such as use of basic signing / rhyming would be welcomed. Sessions should target families with children in different age / stage abilities e.g. baby, or toddler, or pre-school. Back-to-back sessions with a short 'reset' period between them could be programmed. Preference in all areas will be given to those organisations able to clearly demonstrate that their service: - * is targeting specific and identified need in specific areas within Bromley; and * is not duplicating statutory provision but is providing additionality

Lot Information

Lot 1

Renewal: It is anticipated that the Contract will commence on 01 April 2026 and be for an initial period of 1 year, with an option to extend on the same terms and conditions for up to 3 years on a 1+1+1+1 basis. The rationale for a contract award of 1+1+1+1 is due to the nature of the service; we require suppliers to be able to deliver specialised services locally across the borough and to be able to fully meet the changing needs of the early intervention and Public Health priorities and most importantly, the needs of the local community and the published priorities, and other Bromley council strategies. All provision will be reviewed on an annual basis to ensure activities/services remain responsive and are continuing to meet the needs of our local community.
