Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Bromley procured music-based early intervention services for parents and children using its six Children and Family Centres and other related venues in Bromley. The service is intended to enrich and stimulate young children’s early brain development and improve their readiness for school. Sessions cover families with babies, toddlers and pre-school children at different stages of development. Activities may include basic signing and rhyming alongside music, with back-to-back sessions and short reset periods where suitable. This is a locally delivered children’s early intervention and family support service, classified under health and social work services. The requirement is for a specialist provider able to respond to local community and public health priorities.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to The British Association for Early Childhood Education. It used a below-threshold open competition under the light-touch services regime, with one lot. The tender deadline was 29 September 2025 at 12:00. The initial estimated value was £48,000 excluding VAT, or £57,600 including VAT. The awarded contract is valued at £49,920 excluding VAT, or £62,400 including VAT. The contract was signed on 8 April 2026 and runs from 8 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. It may be extended by up to three further one-year periods, with the maximum contract extent stated as 31 March 2028. Tenders were assessed on the most advantageous offer following evaluation and moderation; the council reserved the right to appoint more than one supplier for an activity.

This award indicates recurring local demand for structured music activities supporting early childhood development, school readiness and family engagement. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement would demonstrate practical experience delivering age-appropriate sessions for babies, toddlers and pre-school children, including the ability to adapt activities to different developmental stages. Relevant strengths include music facilitation, early years education, basic signing and rhyming, and the capacity to programme consecutive sessions across several community venues. Providers would need to work responsively with changing early intervention and public health priorities and understand the needs of Bromley’s local communities. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so organisations of either type with suitable local delivery capacity may be credible competitors.

Notice Title

Notice Description

Contract for 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.

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.
