This programme involves a 9-month secondment within the Families First Partnership Programme. Located in Bournemouth, the procurement has now reached the Award stage, with the contract deemed active as of 1st July 2025 and running until 31st March 2026. The procurement method utilised was below the threshold and executed without competition, reflecting the direct approach employed by the Council. This arrangement was finalised with Dorset Healthcare University NHS Foundation Trust as the supplier on 26th September 2025, with a gross contract value of £33,101.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the provision of personnel placement services within the healthcare sector.
