## Summary

The Telford & Wrekin Council is currently conducting a public procurement for the "Parental Befriending Service," a project aimed at providing peer support to parents within West Midlands, UK. This service falls under the category of community, social, and personal services and is at the tender stage of procurement, using an open procedure. The tender was published on 30th July 2015, with a response deadline of 24th August 2015. The contract value ranges between £25,000 and £50,000, and the service is set to commence on 1st October 2015 and run until 31st March 2017.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) to expand their operations within the social services sector. Given the broad nature of the services required, businesses offering peer support, community engagement initiatives, or similar services could thrive in this competitive bidding process. Collaboration with local family services, schools, and health teams will be crucial for potential bidders to enhance their service offerings and maximise their impact.

Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs).
