## Summary

The Flintshire County Council has awarded contracts for the Flintshire Families First project. The project is designed to improve outcomes for children, young people, and families by focusing on early intervention and prevention. The contracts are divided into three lots: Supporting Parents, Supporting Young People, and Supporting Families with Disabled Children & Young People. The total value of the contracts is over £3.5 million. The procurement was completed through an open procedure, with the tender now closed.

This opportunity presents potential growth for businesses in social work and related services. Companies specializing in parenting support, services for young people, and disability services would be well-suited to compete for these contracts. The Flintshire Families First project aims to provide targeted support to families in need, offering opportunities for businesses to contribute to positive social outcomes. The contracting authority, Flintshire County Council, is a regional authority in the United Kingdom, overseeing this important initiative to support the community.

## Notice

Families First is designed to improve outcomes for children, young people and families. It places an emphasis on early intervention, prevention, and providing support for whole families, rather than individuals. Families First is one grant within the Children and Communities Grant along with others such as Flying Start, Supporting People and Communities First. The contract is aimed at three distinct areas - Parenting (1), Young People (2) and Disability (3). Therefore the tender is structured into three lots covering each area respectively. Bidders may bid for any number of lots. TUPE Information is contained in the tender documentation These contracts are for an initial period of 12 months with the option to extend for two further years renewable annually until 31st March 2025 (subject to review of performance, local needs and available funding).If the funding is extended beyond this point the contract may be extended further in-line with the funding.

### Lot Information

Supporting Parents

The Parenting consortium enhances the wider parenting and family support offer in Flintshire. Building on and working closely with Flying Start and the Early Years 0-7 Pathfinder, the Parenting consortium meets demand for early intervention and targeted parenting/family support services for families. Close work with Flying Start is crucial to plan appropriate and tailored support for families, coordinated by a single practitioner or volunteer. For instance, this is especially important in facilitating smooth transitions for families as children move into school and families with children of different ages. Parenting is at the core of the work of Families First and this is reflected in the higher contract value of this lot.

Supporting Young People

The Young People's consortium primarily supports young people aged 11 to 25 years, with resources prioritised to young people aged 11 to 19 especially those young people facing key transitions in their lives and/or who have additional needs. In addition, the Supporting Young People consortium undertakes targeted preventative work with younger aged children, particularly those poised for the intellectual transition from primary to secondary school and physiological transition of puberty.

Supporting Families with Disabled Children & Young People

The main focus for the Children and Young People with Disabilities consortium is supporting families with children and young people aged 0-25 years in a wide range of activity. Children and Young People with additional needs are often the most marginalised in society and Flintshire has resolved to ensure that their needs are addressed by making sure that resources are made available and targeted accordingly.
