The open procedure procurement method was utilised, fostering transparency and competition in the industry. The Local Government Association, based in London, emerged as the delivery partner, tasked with providing an integrated service to facilitate family hubs across Local Authorities. The contract commenced on 24 July 2025 and runs until 31 March 2026, with the overarching goal of enhancing the service coordination and accessibility of support for families, especially those vulnerable or facing disadvantages. This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in education and training services, particularly those capable of delivering integrated community-based support. It encourages organisations with expertise in advocating for best practices and evidence dissemination to consider future similar opportunities to collaborate with government entities. Businesses, especially large-scale providers, can leverage this partnership to expand their reach within public service sectors, addressing societal needs and contributing to significant national initiatives aimed at improving family outcomes. The success of the Local Government Association in winning the contract reflects the potential benefits for businesses that align with government objectives and showcase the capability to undertake complex service delivery roles. ## Notice This contract is for a delivery partner to deliver a National Centre for Family Hubs (NCFH) that will provide support to Local Authorities (LAs) in the implementation of the Family Hubs programme. In 2022, the Department funded the establishment of the National Centre for Family Hubs and Integrated Family Services (NCFH) to advocate for Family Hubs and disseminate best practices and evidence on integrated family service models. The NCFH provides expert advice and guidance to LAs, health partners, local commissioners, schools, and third sector bodies on setting up and developing Family Hub models. It hosts a resource library and implementation toolkit to support providers. Additionally, its activities are supported by a regular newsletter, learning events, and communities of practice (CoP) for peer learning, creating a community for sharing best practices. The Department is seeking to appoint a delivery partner through a new procurement process to continue, build upon, and enhance the NCFH's role. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/045055-2025 | | Notice type | UK7 - Contract Details Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 1 Aug 2025 | | Submission deadline | 17 Apr 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 4 Jun 2025 | | Contract period | 23 Jul 2025 - 31 Mar 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £437,500 | | Lots value | £437,500 | | Awards value | £437,196 | | Contracts value | £437,196 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEPARTMENT FOR EDUCATION | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1P 3BT | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | LOCAL GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80000000 - Education and training services ## Release History - 1 Aug 2025 at 08:58 - Award - UK7 - Contract Details Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/045055-2025 - 5 Jun 2025 at 14:31 - Award - UK6 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/030329-2025 - 2 Apr 2025 at 08:53 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/012417-2025 - 20 Mar 2025 at 17:00 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/010525-2025 - 18 Mar 2025 at 18:05 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/010038-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/045055-2025 1st August 2025 - Contract details notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/030329-2025 5th June 2025 - Contract award notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/012417-2025 2nd April 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/010525-2025 20th March 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/010038-2025 18th March 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://education.app.jaggaer.com/web/login.html - https://www.jaggaer.com/submit-supplier-support-request/ - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
