## Summary

The Isle of Wight Council has awarded a contract for the provision of 0-19 Early Help and Family Centre support services. This procurement, completed through a direct award process under a light touch regime, involves delivering a range of services including parenting support, early childhood support, and intensive family programmes from three family hubs in the region of UKJ34, United Kingdom. The contract is valued at £1,450,500 and covers the period from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027, with the supplier being Barnardo's. The award stage is completed as of 12 September 2025, with a standstill period ending on 23 September 2025.

This contract offers substantial opportunities for organisations specialising in social services, particularly those experienced in guidance and counselling. Barnardo's, as a large supplier, exemplifies the type of organisation well-suited for such tenders, indicating that established entities with a robust service delivery framework and experience in public sector contracts may find significant growth opportunities in similar procurements. This engagement also positions businesses to support community welfare and service development on the Isle of Wight, in alignment with public health and educational initiatives.

During this time a full open market tender will be carried out. This will allow the Authority to align the new longer term contract, from 1 April 2027 with the Public Health and school nursing contract to ensure that there is no duplication across services.
