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

Notice Description

Innovative creative ideas for interactions and sessions for fathers ideally with their children - Dads have told us they do not want "Dads' football".

Some suggestions by Dads have included:- * Science / experiments activities * Discovery / exploration activities * Construction activities * Sport activities * Ways to engage with their daughters and sons on a personal level e.g. hair braiding No duplication of existing statutory midwifery / Health visitor services, or any of the parenting programmes offered within Bromley's Children and Family Centres

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.
