This procurement falls under the health training services category and is currently in the Tender stage, with bids due by 5pm on 6th April 2020. The contract is set to commence on 1st September 2020 and will run until 29th August 2025. The services will be delivered in the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom, and this open procedure invites all interested parties to submit their proposals. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses involved in health services, personal development training, or community support programmes to expand their operations. Companies with experience in providing mentoring or training services, particularly those that focus on engaging with families and local communities, would be well-positioned to compete. Additionally, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are strongly encouraged to participate, leveraging their local insights and innovative approaches to meet the needs of Bulwell families. ## Notice Family Mentors are a ground-breaking peer workforce of people who 'speak the same language' as local families and the service was developed through a comprehensive process of consultation and co-production with local parents and families. They were recruited for their 'lived experience' of parenting within local communities to enable greater insight into local challenges and support parents to be the best they can. They understand and are able to guide SSBC parents along a journey that results in healthy, happy, communicative and fulfilled children. The Family Mentors work closely with Health Visiting Teams, Early Help and other statutory and third sector agencies. Family Mentors are at the core of Small Steps Big Changes - central to our values and our commitment to co-production with local communities. There are two parts to the Family Mentor service, a manualised home visiting programme - Small Steps at Home and Family Mentor community group activities. The service also includes volunteering opportunities in group delivery support and administration. The Family Mentor Service has been shown to make a significant contribution to the delivery of all four of our programme outcomes since its inception and roll-out in June 2015. Building on this success and incorporating the lessons learned since 2015 this re-tender for the current contract, as it approaches expiry, seeks to continue to deliver support activities and interventions to local families in Bulwell ward.
