Summary of the contracting process

Reading Borough Council has concluded an open procurement process for the "Family Lead Decision Making" service, which was awarded on 19th June 2026. This initiative, under the contract period from 1st August 2026 to 31st July 2029, is valued at £375,000 excluding VAT and targets social work services without accommodation. Located in Reading, UK, the contract focuses on upskilling staff and supporting families to access Family Group Conferencing, contributing to reducing the number of children needing council care. Following the open procedure, the contract was awarded to Daybreak Family Group Conferences, with the contract having potential renewal options extending to 2031.

This procurement offers an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in social services and family counselling, particularly those able to collaborate closely with local authorities. It supports efforts to deliver consistent approaches to Family Led Decision Making (FLDM). Businesses experienced in providing social work services without accommodation and able to meet high-quality service standards stand to benefit, particularly those able to meet the specified criteria of passing quality assurance measures. The open procurement method provides an inclusive approach, allowing a wide range of suitably qualified service providers to compete, thus encouraging local business growth and innovation in family support services.
