Businesses can seek further details through the electronic tendering platform, capitalEsourcing, as well as information on the upcoming service requirements expected to be outlined on 16th August 2021. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in community health services, particularly those with experience in engaging families in various settings. Companies that offer services related to early childhood development, support for hard-to-reach families, and volunteer coordination would be well-suited to participate. With the focus on creating accessible services within the Family Hubs, this is an ideal chance for organisations aimed at enhancing family support systems and early help services to grow their client base and impact. ## Notice Westminster City Council (the Authority) will be embarking on the recommissioning of a Children's Centre Outreach service. Westminster's 3 Family Hubs support mums, dads and their children, with friendly, experienced and qualified staff on hand to assist with making choices and using services. These are great places for families and communities that can provide information on finding local services such as childcare, early education and healthcare, as well as advice on jobs and training. Many run stay and play sessions, where trained professionals will be on hand to help you support your child's development. This Children's Centre Outreach Service delivered from Westminster City Council's Family Hubs, provides an integral role in supporting children under the age of 5 years old as part of the Early Help Service delivered through the Borough's Family Hubs. The requirement for outreach includes: * skilled staff who have a proven track record in engaging families in the families' preferred setting; * resilient staff who are resourceful in finding ways to engage hard to reach families; * the ability, agility and flexibility to make services more accessible to families; * The ability to enable families to access services and sustain engagement. This service requirement also includes the co-ordination of the 0-5 Befriending Volunteering Service and the 0-16 Early Help Volunteering Services that will also be delivered from Family Hubs. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Prior to commencing any formal public procurement process Westminster City Council wish to engage with interested providers and undertake a formal market engagement.
