## Summary

The procurement process involves the North Tyneside Council, which has awarded a contract titled "Award of Safe Families for Children." This initiative falls under the health services category and is intended to provide a safe temporary home for children, befriending support for parents, and access to essential services in the North East of England. The procurement method used was a single tender, concluding the tender period on 23rd March 2018, with the contract effective from 1st April 2018 through to 31st December 2018. The total contract value is £45,000.

This tender creates opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), particularly those specialising in family support services, childcare, or community services. Businesses that can offer innovative solutions for temporary child hosting, as well as those providing effective support to parents, would be well-positioned to compete in future procurement opportunities related to similar initiatives, especially within local authorities seeking to enhance their community support frameworks.

## Notice

AWARD ONLY OF:- The provision of a safe and friendly temporary home for children (hosting), befriending and support for struggling parents and access to useful goods and services. Reducing the number of children in care is a key priority of the Transforming Children's Services Programme and the input is seen as crucial to achieving the desired outcomes. The goal is to achieve reduced spend on placements as a result of volunteers providing hosting for children rather than them having to become looked after and cared for by foster carers.
