This tender falls under the education and training services category, with a total contract value of £230,000. The procurement method is an open procedure, currently at the Tender stage. Tenders must be submitted by the deadline of 16th October 2020, and the contract is set to commence on 11th January 2021 for a duration of 15 months, with the potential for an extension of 12 months, contingent upon need, performance, and funding availability. This tender represents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in community support services, particularly those offering family support programmes, educational services, or training for early help practitioners. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be well-suited to compete in this process, given the Council's focus on building capacity within the early help workforce. Engaging with this contract could not only enhance service delivery to families in need but also position suitable businesses as key players in supporting the national Troubled Families Programme. ## Notice South Gloucestershire Council is a Unitary Authority in the South West of England. The Council currently commissions a variety of services for adults and children. The Council is inviting tenders from potential providers who may be interested in developing a coordinated offer of family support across South Gloucestershire. This is to ensure that families who may require additional help have access to effective community based support including parenting and other group programs, direct work with a key worker and a team around the family. The project includes building capacity within the early help workforce through training practitioners and volunteers to work in a strength-based, whole family way. Interventions must be evidence-based, include the whole family and clearly evidence improved outcomes. The work will concentrate on families requiring help at 'Universal Plus' and will contribute to Families in Focus (the national Troubled Families Programme). The duration of the contract is 15 months, with the potential to extend for a further 12 months, making a total contract term of 27 months. Any contract extension or renewal will be dependent upon continued need for the service, satisfactory performance and availability of funding. It is anticipated that this contract would start on 11th January 2021. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f296c2fb-4e5e-4680-af16-d2ba47f1fb5c | | 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 | 7 Sep 2020 | | Submission deadline | 16 Oct 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 11 Jan 2021 - 31 Mar 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £230,000 | | 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 | SOUTH GLOUCESTERSHIRE COUNCIL | | Locality | YATE | | Post town | Bristol | | Postcode | BS37 5AF | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK5 West of England | | ITL 3 | TLK52 Bath & North East Somerset and South Gloucestershire | | Local authority | South Gloucestershire | | Electoral ward | Frampton Cotterell | | Westminster constituency | Thornbury and Yate | | Delivery location | TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 80000000 - Education and training services - 98000000 - Other community, social and personal services ## Release History - 7 Sep 2020 at 13:42 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f296c2fb-4e5e-4680-af16-d2ba47f1fb5c ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f296c2fb-4e5e-4680-af16-d2ba47f1fb5c 7th September 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=869ff7a5-07f1-ea11-8105-005056b64545 To express an interest in this contract and receive full tender documentation please go to Supplying the South West ## Notice URLs - https://www.southglos.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
