This initiative falls under the social work services category and is based in London, United Kingdom. Interested parties must submit their responses to the market test questionnaire by the deadline of 11th October 2021. The procurement is estimated to be valued at £53,000 for a 12-month period and focuses on delivering a parent/carer champion programme that will enhance community network capabilities. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those within the voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) sector, as well as small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in social work and community engagement. Organisations with experience in working with disadvantaged families, particularly those familiar with the youth justice system and community health initiatives, would be well-suited to compete. By engaging in this procurement, businesses have the potential to contribute to social impact while also expanding their service offerings and client base in the London area. ## Notice Provision of a parent/carer champion programme and community network to meet concerns and needs of parents/carers who have experienced the youth justice system (or at risk of). The network will also reach families of children and young people who are at risk of exploitation and harm. Organisations are invited to respond to the attached questionnaire. The London Borough of Newham is reviewing requirements for the provision of such support and would like to engage the market to determine the availability of suitable providers to seek quotes from. This is not an invitation to tender. The successful provider will work in partnership with Headstart, a well-being service working closely with schools and community to transform how young people and their families are supported to stay emotionally healthy. Throughout the project, both organisations will apply for grants to continue the work. This VCS led partnership will deliver community capacity/capability to parents/carers within Newham. The partnership will upscale and refocus current programmes to specifically meet concerns and needs of parents who have experienced the youth justice system (or at risk of). Working closely with YOS and the multiagency Preventing Child Exploitation Harm Hub (PCEHH), the programme will identify parents to receive support and training to manage their current situation and develop skills to support others. This will include parents who experience high levels of socio-economic deprivation. This offers a targeted approach for parents through an EPEC/SFSC way of working to focus on a group of parents whose children have been linked to YOS and offending services and at risk of exploitation or harm. The aims would be to develop parent facilitators who would take on the peer led approach. This group would develop as a community based network or voluntary based group. The programme would link to the Newham Community Connect programme as well as the parent support and parent training taking place across the system to develop new approaches and understanding amongst a wider network of parents, and create and develop a preventative programme in the future. The requirements of the service are: * Work with parents and carers within the community * Breakdown barriers for reaching parents such as language, digital poverty and cultural * To work with existing partners that deliver services to parents and carers * To promote and develop the community champion model in conjunction with the parenting innovation working group * To contribute to regular parenting communication when appropriate * Be an active member of the parenting innovation group * To deliver online and face to face network and engagement sessions with the required families * Collect and provide agreed contract monitoring data * Be in place to deliver from early November 2021 The estimated value for the 12 months is PS53,000 Deadline to complete and return this market test questionnaire is Monday 11th October at 5pm ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/062b59d8-4272-4af7-95c7-c533998d468b | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 1 Oct 2021 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 11 Oct 2021 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LONDON BOROUGH OF NEWHAM | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | East London | | Postcode | E16 2QU | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI41 Hackney and Newham | | Local authority | Newham | | Electoral ward | Royal Albert | | Westminster constituency | West Ham and Beckton | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85312000 - Social work services without accommodation - 85320000 - Social services ## Release History - 1 Oct 2021 at 11:58 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/062b59d8-4272-4af7-95c7-c533998d468b ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/062b59d8-4272-4af7-95c7-c533998d468b 1st October 2021 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/e3a22f02-5e47-4d56-997b-98ace782de97 Market Test Questionnaire ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
