## Summary

This initiative is part of a broader Family Hub model aimed at enhancing multi-agency and cross-sector support for children and families within some of the county’s most deprived areas. The procurement falls under the “Health and social work services” category and follows an open procedure. The project requires service providers to effectively collaborate with local partners, including the voluntary, community, and faith sectors. The initial contract period is set to begin from 1st April 2025 for four years, with the possibility of extensions up to a further four years in 2-year increments. The tender submission deadline was 10th May 2024.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses in the social work and health services sectors to grow by engaging in community-centred activities. Ideal candidates are organisations capable of leveraging existing community resources and are experienced in forming partnerships with local voluntary and community sectors. Companies specialising in family support, multi-agency collaboration, and early help services are well-suited to compete for this contract, which has an estimated contract value of around £7.7 million, awarded to Gloucestershire Gateway Trust. This opportunity underscores the potential for SMEs, as indicated by the participation statistics, to bring innovative solutions to public service delivery.
