This procurement falls within the research services industry category and aims to inform an ongoing review concerning the presumption of parental involvement in child welfare. The tender is currently in the active stage, with a closing date set for 23 April 2021. The project has a total value of £20,000, and the contracted research is expected to commence on 24 May 2021, concluding by 30 September 2021. Interested parties should ensure that they are registered on the Jaggaer Portal by the end of the tender period to submit their bids. This opportunity presents a significant chance for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), to engage in impactful research that influences child welfare policies. Companies with expertise in child psychology, social research, or related fields would be well-suited to compete for this contract. Additionally, businesses that can demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of the complexities surrounding diverse family structures and parental involvement are encouraged to participate, as their insights will be crucial to the project's aims. ## Notice The Ministry of Justice Data and Analytical Services Directorate (MoJ-DASD) has a requirement for a suitably qualified and experienced researcher to undertake an evidence review to inform the ongoing review into the presumption of parental involvement. This research should summarise the existing evidence on the impact harm and involvement with a parent has upon a child's welfare and explore how parental involvement can be supported and made safe where needed. The review into the presumption of parental involvement was announced in November 2020 following the recommendations of the Harm Panel in June 2020.To ensure the best interests of the child remain at the heart of this review, we welcome bids that include expertise on child psychology or child welfare. The aim of this literature review is to understand the existing evidence on the impact on a child's continuing welfare of both parents' involvement in their life, especially in situations where the child has experienced or is at risk of harm, and what works to ensure parental involvement can be made safe in such situations. It is important to recognise that the lives of children and families are diverse and complex. When considering the evidence on children's welfare, where possible, a broad range of circumstances, family structures and contact arrangements should be considered. Care should be taken to ensure that the parent-child context is clearly articulated in outputs where this could be relevant to the transferability of the findings.
