## Summary

Newcastle City Council is the buying organisation for the contract titled "Evidence Based Parenting Programmes," which falls under the health and social work services category. The procurement process, which was recently completed, was part of the council’s initiative under the Family Hubs and Start for Life Programme, extending until 31st March 2026. The main aim is to enhance support services for parents of babies and infants in Newcastle by providing courses focusing on building parent-infant relationships. Barnardo Services Limited was awarded this contract, which is valued at £12,500 per annum, running from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026, following a below-threshold procurement method under special light-touch regime conditions.

This tender presents growth opportunities particularly for large organisations with expertise in health and social work services, specifically those experienced in evidence-based parenting interventions. Businesses that have capabilities in providing educational programmes related to child development and familial bonding would be well-suited to compete in similar tenders. Additionally, organisations familiar with government programmes targeting child and family support, such as Barnardo Services Limited, which was the successful supplier, may find such opportunities to leverage their expertise and expand their service delivery in partnership with public sector entities like Newcastle City Council.

## Notice
