Interested parties must submit their bids by 7th March 2025, with the contract period set to commence on 31st March 2025 and conclude on 30th March 2026.

We have an opportunity to improve how local services support and protect children, young people, and their families. As part of this programme, we seek to commission: o Family Help Mentoring Support for families - a whole family approach to providing a comprehensive initiative aimed at enhancing the well-being, development, social and emotional needs and opportunities for children, young people, and their parents/carers. This is essential for children and young people to get the most out of their school experience, including their attainment, wellbeing, and wider lift chances. o Child Protection Advocacy - we are seeking advocates for parents where a child is the subject of or likely to become the subject of a Child Protection Plan. This support would sit alongside Family Help Mentoring support but will also include providing support to and advocating for parents and carers during the Child Protection Conference process. It is the Council's intention to divide these requirements into 4 Lots as follows: o Lot 1 - North Locality o Lot 2 - South & Central Locality o Lot 3 - East Locality o Lot 4 - West Locality Additional information: Is a Recurrent Procurement Type? : No ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d462d5d8-9bf3-4300-84d3-07ada58aa660 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 19 Feb 2025 | | Submission deadline | 7 Mar 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2025 - 30 Mar 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | WALSALL COUNCIL E-TENDERING | | Locality | WEST MIDLANDS | | Post town | Walsall | | Postcode | WS1 1TP | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG3 West Midlands | | ITL 3 | TLG38 Walsall | | Local authority | Walsall | | Electoral ward | St Matthew's | | Westminster constituency | Walsall and Bloxwich | | Delivery location | TLG West Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security - 85 - Health and social work services - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 79140000 - Legal advisory and information services - 85300000 - Social work and related services - 85310000 - Social work services - 98000000 - Other community, social and personal services ## Release History - 19 Feb 2025 at 13:29 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d462d5d8-9bf3-4300-84d3-07ada58aa660 - 19 Feb 2025 at 13:28 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d462d5d8-9bf3-4300-84d3-07ada58aa660 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d462d5d8-9bf3-4300-84d3-07ada58aa660 19th February 2025 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/walsallcouncil/aspx/ Additional information on how to apply for this contract ## Notice URLs - https://www.walsall.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
