This initiative, which falls under the business and management consultancy industry, aims to support families affected by alcohol dependency. The tender is currently in the planning stage, with the engagement end date set for 24 October 2018. The evaluation is expected to start its contract period on 18 October 2018 and will run until 29 October 2021. The procurement process is classified as open, and the tender period closes on 14 September 2018. This tender presents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), particularly those specialising in research consultancy services and social welfare programmes. Businesses equipped to offer innovative evaluation methods and interventions that support children and families impacted by alcohol dependency would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The £165,000 funding available underscores the potential for engagement in this vital area of public health, where effective proposals could make a meaningful difference in policy and practice. ## Notice In April 2018 the Government announced new support to help children living with alcohol dependent parents. Plans were announced by the then Secretary of State, Jeremy Hunt, to help identify at-risk children more quickly, and provide them with rapid access to support and advice. The programme was backed by a 3-year PS6 million fund from the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) and the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). The programme includes a number of different elements, including: - A PS4.5 million innovation fund for local authorities to develop plans that improve outcomes for children of alcohol dependent parents. These plans will also address parental conflict in the families that are identified, either directly or indirectly. - PS1 million to fund national capacity building by non-governmental organisations delivered as section 64 grants. - PS500,000 to expand national helplines for children with alcohol dependent parents. DHSC would like to commission an independent evaluation of the PS4.5 million Innovation Fund. The Innovation Fund will be offered on a competitive basis to a small number of local authorities. The purpose of the evaluation is to provide an independent assessment of how the Fund has supported innovation, increased the numbers of families provided with support and to also contributed to the dissemination of learning generated by the fund-supported activities delivered in the participating local authorities.
