## Summary

The Department for Education is seeking to establish a variation of the Family & Friends Advice Line Contract, which is classified under health and social work services. This tender, identified as "ocds-h6vhtk-02afdb," aims to allocate £50,000 to enhance the capacity of the National Family and Friends Adviceline. The contract focuses on increasing outreach to parents and kinship carers during the Covid-19 pandemic, with the intention to produce more online guidance and support. This procurement is currently in the tender stage, with significant details including a designated address at Sanctuary Buildings, London, SW1P 3BT, UK.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses involved in social care, community support services, and digital content creation, particularly those that can demonstrate expertise in providing advice and guidance in challenging circumstances. Companies that specialise in health and social work services, especially those with a focus on supporting families and kinship arrangements during the pandemic, would be especially well-suited to participate in this tender. Collaborations with organisations like Become, which aims to support children in care, may enhance competitive advantage in this procurement process.
