## Summary

The Ministry of Justice is seeking a qualified researcher to conduct an evidence review titled "Evidence Review into Harm and Parental Involvement to Support the Review of the Presumption of Parental Involvement". This procurement falls under the services category, specifically focusing on research services as classified by CPV codes. The research is intended to inform a review initiated in November 2020 regarding parental involvement in children's lives, particularly in contexts of harm. The contract has an estimated value of £20,000 and is set to commence on 24th May 2021, running until 30th September 2021. The procurement method employed is selective, facilitated through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, with the tender period having ended on 23rd April 2021.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in child welfare, psychology, or social research, particularly those with expertise in safeguarding and understanding the complexities of family dynamics. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to bid, given their suitability for this service-oriented project. Companies that can demonstrate a robust understanding of the impact of parental involvement on children's welfare would be well-positioned to compete for this contract, thus potentially fostering business growth through successful engagement with public sector research initiatives.

## 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.
