Summary of the contracting process

Hull City Council procured family support services for its Best Start in Life and Healthy Babies programmes. The work is intended to support families and contribute to early-years outcomes through community, education, pre-school, health and social-work services. It is a public-service support requirement delivered in Hull. The procurement covers one service requirement delivered by two providers: Coram Family Lives, based in London, and Home-Start Hull. The scope combines family support with related community and social services rather than the supply of goods or construction works. It is particularly relevant to organisations delivering practical support to families with young children, early-years services, health-related family interventions or social work in a local authority setting.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold open competition. The requirement was evaluated solely on quality, weighted at 100%. Two active awards were made for the single service requirement: Coram Family Lives and Home-Start Hull. Both contracts were signed on 4 August 2026. Each contract has a net value of £125,000 and a gross value of £150,000. The contractual period is stated as 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2029, with an option to extend by two further 12-month periods, to a maximum date in March 2031. Tender submissions closed on 10 June 2026, and enquiries closed on 3 June 2026.

This award demonstrates demand from Hull City Council for specialist family-support provision connected to early-years development, healthy babies and wider family wellbeing. Organisations well placed for a comparable requirement would be able to deliver community-based support for families with young children, work effectively with health, education and social-care partners, and demonstrate outcomes through a strong service model. Relevant experience may include pre-school support, parenting assistance, family intervention, public-health work or related social services. The successful supplier profile also shows that both a local provider and a larger voluntary, community or social enterprise can be credible. Small and medium-sized organisations and VCSEs were considered suitable, so partnership working and clear evidence of quality would be important.
