The procurement falls within the health and social work services category, with services to be delivered in the United Kingdom, particularly in the UKF region. This tender is currently in the planning stage, with preliminary market engagement notices published on 2nd March 2026. Key deadlines include a feedback submission due by midday on 16th March 2026. The overall estimated value for the services totals £819,012 with a focus on services supporting individuals experiencing severe disadvantages. This tender presents substantial opportunities for SMEs and VCSE organisations specialising in health and social work services. With Nottingham City Council aiming to implement a new model through the Changing Futures Nottingham Programme, businesses with expertise in providing practical and emotional support for those facing severe disadvantages are encouraged to participate. The contract period spans from October 2026 to September 2028, with the potential for renewal. Engaging in this tender process could enable businesses to contribute significantly to community welfare while expanding their service portfolios within the public sector. ## Notice As part of the Changing Futures Nottingham Programme, a number of specialist Navigator Services are commissioned; this model supports people experiencing severe and multiple disadvantage by providing practical and emotional help to engage with services. Following a commissioning review, a new model is being proposed. It is likely that the new model constitutes two different and separate services. The maximum value included in this notice would cover both services. Nottingham City Council now wishes to engage with the market for their feedback and to further inform the model design of the new services. ### Planning Information Please download and review the presentation which is available via Proactis at www.eastmidstenders.org and search for CPU8045 (PME) Changing Futures Specialist Services.
