## Summary

Portsmouth City Council has successfully completed the procurement process for "Child and Parenting Support Services," focusing on services within the industry category. The initiative includes programmes such as baby massage and introduction to solids, aligned with the Family Hub's 'Best Start for Life' agenda. Located in the UKJ31 region, specifically Portsmouth, the contract value is GBP 84,000, covering the period from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026. This contract falls under a "Below threshold - unknown" procurement method, indicative of a streamlined process, and was awarded on 18 December 2025. The procurement process has concluded successfully, transitioning from the tender to the award stage.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in family and childcare services, particularly those specialising in support programmes for children and parents. Companies that provide services similar to baby massage and parenting sessions, or those capable of integrating into public service delivery frameworks like 'Best Start for Life', would find this an ideal opportunity for expansion. Large enterprises, as seen with the awarded supplier, The Parenting Network, which is already a well-established entity in Portsmouth, may have better capacities to fulfil such contracts effectively.
