The procurement, under an open procedure, falls within the services category and is currently at the tender update stage as of 18th June 2026. The tendering process involves several strategic lots, each focusing on different support services such as mentoring, community-based parenting assessments, and crisis intervention. The relevant industry classification under the CPV code 85300000 pertains to social work services. Potential suppliers can submit their inquiries until 24th July 2026, with the tender period concluding on 31st July 2026. The award of contracts is expected to be finalised by 6th October 2026. This framework provides significant opportunities for potential bidders, particularly SMEs and VCSEs engaging in social welfare and family support services, to expand their business footprint by partnering with a reputable local authority. The framework supports a flexible procurement method, enabling providers to propose innovative solutions through mini-competitions or direct awards.

Businesses with experience in tailored support services and those capable of embedding systemic, trauma-informed, and anti-racist practices into their delivery models are well-suited to compete in this tender process, with a substantial contract value reaching £6,960,000, highlighting lucrative prospects for growing enterprises. ## Notice The Children and Families Support Services Open Framework provides structured, quality-assured interventions like mentoring, parenting assessments, and crisis support. ### Lot Information Positive / Structured Activities One-to-one support to promote confidence, engagement, and emotional wellbeing.
