The total service value amounts to £7,680,000 GBP. This tender offers substantial business growth opportunities for entities specializing in community family support, particularly those looking to expand services within the Early Help agenda. It favours small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) due to its focus on early family support and resilience building. The awarded contracts include significant annual value allocations to suppliers such as The Stoke-on-Trent and District Gingerbread Centre Limited, Sickle Cell & Thalassaemia Support Project, and Malachi Specialist Family Support Services CIC.
