Summary of the contracting process

Isle of Wight Council is procuring early intervention and prevention services for children, families and young carers across the Isle of Wight. The service covers support delivered from three Family Hubs and five satellite Family Centres. Its scope includes parenting support, wider family support, early childhood support, an intensive family support programme and dedicated support for Young Carers. This is a community, social and personal services requirement, focused on preventative and early-help provision rather than construction, goods or general administrative services. The buyer is the Isle of Wight Council, and delivery is required within the Isle of Wight. The requirement is suitable for organisations able to provide practical family support and early-years services through multiple community locations.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Barnardo’s on 18 August 2026 following an above-threshold open procedure. The award covers the single lot and is valued at £9,482,285 excluding VAT, or £11,378,742 including VAT. The contract runs from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030, with a council-held option to extend for a further three years, to a maximum extent of 31 March 2033. The tender deadline was 8 June 2026 at 14:00, the enquiry deadline was 27 May 2026 at 17:00, and the award decision period ended on 17 August 2026. Evaluation weighted quality, including method statements, social value and presentation, at 80%, and price at 20%. Seven bids were submitted, with two reaching the final stage.

This award demonstrates sustained local demand for integrated early-help and prevention services serving children, families and young carers through a network of hubs and satellite centres. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement will be able to operate community-based services across several locations, coordinate parenting and family support, provide early-childhood interventions and deliver intensive support for families with complex needs. Relevant evidence should include successful delivery of contracts of a similar nature, supported by demonstrable technical and professional capability. The buyer also requires financial capacity evidenced through at least one financial document. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so credible specialist charities, social enterprises and partnership-led providers may be well placed to compete.
