This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), as these organizations are specifically encouraged to partake. The service demands flexibility to accommodate varying service requests, making it ideal for businesses that can adapt to fluctuating schedules, including after school hours and during school holidays.

The Provider is required to deliver a good quality Family Time Service that is safe (physically and mentally) for the children and young people and enables the child/young person and their families to build safe and positive relationships for the future. Family Time is court ordered supervised contact resulting from a Care Order which grants the Authority shared Parental Responsibility for a child/young person, with their parents (post-court). Family Time must be planned to meet the specific aims of the court ordered contact, taking into account any particular requirements and timescales. Supervised Family Time usually takes place after school hours and during school holidays. It is vital that the Provider can respond to fluctuating levels of service requests, especially during weekdays 3.00pm to 6.30pm, Saturdays, school holidays and throughout the day, depending on demand. The initial contract term will be one year, with the option to extend by a further 12 months. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1a01d3f7-7993-4be3-a4e5-ac77d32daf20 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 16 Dec 2024 | | Submission deadline | 21 Oct 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 16 Dec 2024 | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2025 - 31 Mar 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £316,800 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £316,800 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DERBY CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | DERBY | | Post town | Derby | | Postcode | DE1 2FS | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF1 Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire | | ITL 3 | TLF11 Derby | | Local authority | Derby | | Electoral ward | Darley | | Westminster constituency | Derby South | | Delivery location | TLF East Midlands (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | CHILDREN FIRST DERBY | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services - 98000000 - Other community, social and personal services ## Release History - 16 Dec 2024 at 09:08 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1a01d3f7-7993-4be3-a4e5-ac77d32daf20 - 18 Sep 2024 at 14:32 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/76560146-fd51-4a10-bb72-6e7f242c6afb ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1a01d3f7-7993-4be3-a4e5-ac77d32daf20 16th December 2024 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/76560146-fd51-4a10-bb72-6e7f242c6afb 18th September 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.eastmidstenders.org ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
