The contract consists of two lots: Lot 1 for Early Intervention, awarded to Hillcrest Futures Limited, and Lot 2 for Intensive Family Support Service, awarded to Aberlour Child Care Trust.

Those experienced in delivering flexible, high-quality, family-based support solutions that enhance parental abilities and foster community engagement might find this contract beneficial. Furthermore, since TUPE regulations may apply, organisations adept in managing employment transitions will benefit from this opportunity. Strategic collaborations between SMEs and local authorities like Angus Council can significantly expand their portfolios, given the collaboration's potential to address critical community needs and enhance social work initiatives in the region.
