## Summary

North Northamptonshire Council, located at The Corby Cube, George Street, Corby, has successfully completed an open procedure procurement process titled "Supportive Steps - Early Parenting and Child-Parent Relationship," falling under the industry category of health and social work services. This procurement aims to support early parenting and child-parent relationships through services designed for families with children under two, extending support to those with children up to five years old. The procurement was executed via a framework agreement without reopening competition, with Family Action being awarded the active contract on 12 May 2026. The contract has a term from 1 January 2026 to 31 December 2027, with an optional extension until the end of 2028, valued at £574,740 gross.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for organisations specialising in health and social work services. Businesses that provide expertise in early parenting programmes and perinatal mental health would be well-suited to compete, particularly those capable of delivering evidence-based interventions like the Solihull Approach. With a focus on engaging integrated programmes and community support, firms with a background in public health and those classified as voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) could find this an ideal project to expand their outreach and service delivery in the UK. This procurement facilitates establishing long-term partnerships that support the government’s broader early intervention strategy, benefiting businesses committed to social development and family support initiatives.

## Notice

The Service will provide early parenting and child-parent relationship support for mothers, fathers, and co-parents with children under two years old, including children up to the age of five, to engage in evidence-based programmes, e.g., the Solihull Approach.
