Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Hillingdon commissioned a parenting programmes and Parent Champions service for parents, carers and families in Hillingdon, including families whose children are at risk of exploitation. The service is intended to build parenting capability and confidence, reduce the likelihood of future statutory intervention, and recruit, train and support parenting facilitators and volunteer Parent Champions. It also covers marketing and service development, including use of a website to increase reach. The provider is expected to deliver targeted training programmes, seminars and interactive workshops on changing parenting-related themes, such as reducing family conflict and coping with teenagers’ emotions. Delivery may be virtual, physical or hybrid, as appropriate to maximise participation. This is a health and social work service.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded without competition using a below-threshold direct award under the light-touch regime. One lot was awarded to Coram Family Lives. The award value is £54,111 excluding VAT and £64,933 including VAT. The awarded service period runs from 28 May 2026 to 31 March 2027. The contract was signed on 8 June 2026, with the contract period recorded as 8 June 2026 to 31 March 2027. The contract is active. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Evaluation criteria are not set out because the procurement was conducted without competition.

This award indicates demand for an established family-support provider able to deliver practical parenting interventions across a local-authority area. Relevant suppliers would need capability in parenting education, family support and work with families facing heightened safeguarding or exploitation risks. Credible delivery would also require the ability to recruit, train and support facilitators and volunteers, including a structured Parent Champions model. Providers should be able to design and run interactive workshops, seminars and targeted training around changing local needs, while adapting delivery between online, in-person and hybrid formats. Strong community engagement, service marketing and website-led outreach would help extend participation. Experience working with councils, voluntary-sector partners and families requiring support short of statutory intervention would be particularly relevant when this type of requirement returns.
