This procurement, focused on health and social work services, aims to implement a Trauma-Informed and Responsive Care approach within Public Health Nursing and Family Hubs in the region of UKK43, United Kingdom. The process was initiated as part of the council's broader ambition to become a trauma-informed organisation, involving adaptive and relational methodologies for public service transformation. The contract period is scheduled from 23rd March 2026 to 22nd September 2027, with a gross award value of £89,760.60.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in service design and systems change within public health contexts. Particularly, firms like Dartington Service Design Lab Limited, which is the awarded supplier, are well-suited to collaborate in co-designing trauma-informed strategies and building organisational readiness. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) that are experienced in adapting complex systems and fostering relational change in public domains would benefit from competing for similar contracts. Such engagements allow businesses to expand their influence in the health sector and contribute to meaningful public service transformations through collaborative, evidence-informed initiatives.
