Lot Information

Lot 1

There is a requirement for a service provider to supply 298 (two hundred and ninety eight) hours per week of Family Support services. These workers would be employed over Primary, Secondary and Additional Needs School. The contract would be for a one year period commencing September 2019 with the option to extend for a further one year. This model would help schools to build strong links with families who cannot be reached by existing parent participation methods. Through improving communication and relationships with families at home this should in turn improve experiences with the school. The Family Support Workers would be based at one of the schools and would work alongside the Head Teacher to create individualised support plans. These plans would detail outcomes which these services should help achieve. Three of the key improvement areas will relate to improving pupil attendance; improving pupil/parent participation and supporting families and pupils with social, emotional and behavioural difficulties. For the avoidance of doubt, the service provider would be responsible for providing cover for annual leave and staff absences to ensure school support is not detrimentally impacted throughout the duration of this contract and will be required to provide details within the Invitation to Tender.

Renewal: At the sole discretion of the Council, the contract may be extended for a further period of 12 months.
