This procurement falls within the "services" industry category and is currently in the tender stage, with submissions due by noon on 11th February 2022. The contract's duration is up to three years, beginning on 1st April 2022 and concluding on 31st March 2025, dependent on funding availability. The procurement method is an open procedure, and interested suppliers must register on Birmingham City Council's e-tendering portal to participate. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses focused on social services, particularly those specialising in mentoring, counselling, and youth support programmes. Companies that are equipped to deliver community-based services and have experience in collaborative partnerships with local entities will be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. The focus on developing early help systems and building resilient families highlights the potential for businesses to leverage their expertise in social care and community engagement to foster growth and secure long-term contracts with the council. ## Notice Birmingham Children's Trust is seeking to establish a contract with a provider or providers of Community Based Mentoring and Befriending Services to support Children, Young People. The service will work as part of the early help system for Children and Families and developing early help is a Birmingham Children's Partnership priority. Birmingham Children's Partnership Early Help Plan The BCP business case and transformation plan is delivering a new system of early help for children and families based in 10 localities. It is developing a culture of early help being everyone's responsibility, building capacity through new family support professionals, in the community, with schools and nurseries and through digital support. We are supporting vulnerable families to access this new capacity and to be more resilient in achieving their own outcomes. The early help plans for the city were accelerated during the Covid emergency and have now supported over 17,000 families with a short-term resilience grant, wider family support, and community grants to 162 local organisations. Over the current year the aim is to build capacity further and to develop multi-disciplinary teams in each locality including strong links to the provider of this contract. The contract will last for a maximum contract duration of 3 years (unless terminated under the terms and conditions of the contract). The contract will be on rolling yearly basis. No contract will be entered into or will continue without availability of funding. The contract, its duration and funding is therefore subject to change and available funding.
