The procurement is currently at the planning stage, with an engagement end date set for 24th October 2018. The initiative is intended to provide support to young and teenage parents and their children in areas such as health, education, and social welfare. The total estimated value of the service is £680,000, focusing on the South West region of the United Kingdom. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social work services, particularly those that can aid young families dealing with issues like housing, mental health, and education. Companies that provide one-on-one and group support services, especially those targeting young fathers and their families, would be well-suited to compete. Engaging in this assessment may lead to future procurement opportunities as Cornwall Council seeks viable solutions to enhance support for over 230 young parent families each year. ## Notice Cornwall Council is conducting a soft market assessment to gain an understanding of the potential level of interest across the Voluntary, NHS, Independent and private sector for the provision of the Young Parents Support Service It is intended that the responses supplied will enable us to develop a business proposal. Any such proposal would be subject to the development and approval of a business case, and, as such, this exercise implies no commercial commitment. This is not a formal tender document. Participation of this soft market assessment will not prejudice suppliers participating in any future procurement. The service supports young and teenage parents and their children meeting their social, health and wellbeing needs. Young parents have specific needs that are not easily met by mainstream services, especially around issues such as housing, debt, poor mental health, domestic abuse and access to health, education and training. There is a specific focus on supporting the fathers of young parent families, even if they live separately to the family. The service will aim to work with at least 230 young parent families a year, providing one to one and group support. There will be specific outcomes to meet including in the areas of: * Parenting * Public health * Education, employment and training * Safeguarding * Substance misuse * Social issues e.g. housing, debt, information, advice and guidance. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7336a46a-e03c-405e-9929-d7bafb3f0667 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 17 Aug 2018 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 24 Oct 2018 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £680,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Cancelled | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CORNWALL COUNCIL | | Locality | TRURO | | Post town | Truro | | Postcode | TR1 3AY | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK3 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | | ITL 3 | TLK30 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | | Local authority | Cornwall | | Electoral ward | Truro Boscawen & Redannick | | Westminster constituency | Truro and Falmouth | | Delivery location | TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 17 Aug 2018 at 10:40 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7336a46a-e03c-405e-9929-d7bafb3f0667 - 17 Aug 2018 at 10:39 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1cd94773-ca96-4f48-af3d-d32016874ad1 - 18 Nov 2016 at 20:17 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1cd94773-ca96-4f48-af3d-d32016874ad1 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7336a46a-e03c-405e-9929-d7bafb3f0667 17th August 2018 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1cd94773-ca96-4f48-af3d-d32016874ad1 17th August 2018 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.cornwall.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
