Commissioning and Tenderers are required to demonstrate their capability to deliver the required service. Via this contract Wirral Council are determining the best way to commission a Community Matters service to fully meet the needs of Wirral children and families. Early Help means taking action to support a child, young person or their family as soon as a problem emerges. It can be required at any stage in a child's life, from pre-birth to adulthood, and applies to any problem or need that the family can't deal with alone. Early help can lead to better outcomes for children, prevent problems escalating or overwhelming families, create social mobility and support communities to thrive. It is an ambition of Wirral Council to make the borough a great place to grow up. Children and families need to feel a sense of belonging in the communities where they live, to be able to access help from those around them in the least intrusive and most accessible way. Therefore, we are committed to changing the way in which early help is delivered by investing in voluntary, community, faith, and educational organisations. With the right support, families and communities can collaborate to achieve outcomes which are mutually beneficial ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/35a3274b-2984-42c9-8956-358aecd95afe | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 16 Oct 2018 | | Submission deadline | 16 Nov 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 7 Jan 2019 - 31 Mar 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1,310,000 | | 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 | WIRRAL BOROUGH COUNCIL | | Locality | BIRKENHEAD | | Post town | Chester | | Postcode | CH41 5AL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD7 Merseyside | | ITL 3 | TLD74 Wirral | | Local authority | Wirral | | Electoral ward | Birkenhead and Tranmere | | Westminster constituency | Birkenhead | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 80000000 - Education and training services - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 16 Oct 2018 at 11:19 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/35a3274b-2984-42c9-8956-358aecd95afe ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/35a3274b-2984-42c9-8956-358aecd95afe 16th October 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.wirral.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
