UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Peterborough City Council procured specialist training services for its Family Hubs programme. The requirement covers training on three courses: Early Years, ADHD, and special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), for up to 54 practitioners. Family Hubs support families from conception through a child’s early years and later childhood, including young people up to age 19, or 25 for those with SEND. The wider service provides a single access point to integrated family support across physical and mental health, social care, voluntary and community organisations, and education settings. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The procurement is a public-sector family support and practitioner training requirement, rather than the direct provision of services to families.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Parents Plus Company Limited by Guarantee. Peterborough City Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under the light-touch regime. One lot was completed. The award covers specialist training services. The contract was signed on 7 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. Its value is £46,400 excluding VAT and £55,680 including VAT. The contract is active. The requirement was evaluated through the council’s direct-award route rather than a competitive tender, so the published outcome identifies the selected supplier but does not set out competing bids or a comparative scoring basis.

This procurement shows demand from Peterborough City Council for a specialist provider able to train family-support practitioners across Early Years, ADHD and SEND. A credible future competitor would need subject expertise spanning these three areas, training content suitable for practitioners working with children, young people and families, and the capacity to serve a cohort of up to 54 people. Experience of delivering structured professional training in an integrated family-support setting would be relevant, particularly where work involves health, social care, education, and voluntary or community organisations. Parents Plus is a large voluntary, community or social enterprise, indicating that the buyer has used a substantial mission-led specialist provider for this requirement. Suppliers with comparable capability should monitor this council’s family-hub training demand.
