SSBC is a partnership of parents and professionals working together, through co-production and parent powered change, to drive the delivery of the programme and focus on giving every child the best start in life by helping children to live happy, healthy and fulfilled lives. SSBC is one of only five programmes nationally. The programme commenced in April 2015. For further information on the SSBC programme, please see our website. 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 Hyson green & Arboretum and St Ann's wards. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/edf77a6f-403a-4390-9f84-65367c313e46 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 23 Feb 2021 | | Submission deadline | 6 Apr 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Aug 2021 - 31 Mar 2025 | | 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 | NHS ARDEN AND GREATER EAST MIDLANDS COMMISSIONING SUPPORT UNIT | | Locality | NOTTINGHAM | | Post town | Nottingham | | Postcode | NG6 8WR | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF1 Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire | | ITL 3 | TLF14 Nottingham | | Local authority | Nottingham | | Electoral ward | Bulwell | | Westminster constituency | Nottingham North and Kimberley | | Delivery location | TLF East Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 80561000 - Health training services - 80570000 - Personal development training services - 85100000 - Health services ## Release History - 23 Feb 2021 at 10:30 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/edf77a6f-403a-4390-9f84-65367c313e46 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/edf77a6f-403a-4390-9f84-65367c313e46 23rd February 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=36751&B=AGCSU Additional data - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/68205 User / Company ## Notice URLs - http://www.smallstepsbigchanges.org.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
