The project falls under the health and social work services industry category, with activities planned at 10 Family Hubs across Birmingham, UKG31 region, United Kingdom. The procurement process is initiated as a tender, with key dates including a future notice deadline on 26th May 2026 and the tender period ending on 12th June 2026. Contract activities are set to start on 1st October 2026 and conclude by 30th September 2029. This procurement presents substantial business growth opportunities for organisations specialising in community and social work services, especially those with expertise in domestic abuse intervention and training. It is ideal for businesses capable of providing a dedicated domestic abuse specialist in each of the Family Hubs, facilitating indirect and direct support activities across the community. The procurement method is an open competition, accessible to below-threshold bidders, allowing smaller organisations and those within the light-touch regime to establish themselves as pivotal partners in delivering vital services across Birmingham. Businesses proficient in establishing community partnerships, managing referrals, and offering training and support will find this tender particularly suitable. ## Notice Birmingham Children's Trust has identified a requirement for Early Help and Support for families affected by domestic abuse or parental conflict within the City. We require a domestic abuse specialist to be based in each of the 10 Family Hubs across Birmingham. They will be the point of contact for agencies in the District providing advice and support to families impacted by domestic abuse or parental conflict. This may involve drop-in sessions, planned group activities, one-to-one sessions or referrals to specialist services for longer term support. They will work alongside, and in partnership with, the relevant Early Help (voluntary sector) agency and Family Hubs staff in each District to be a point of contact, receive support requests and provide information and feedback to partner agencies who contact the District domestic abuse specialist. This includes the commissioned service providing any information known from previous involvement with the family, current risk assessments, safety planning and referrals to specialist services for ongoing work. The commissioned service will also need to provide training and share pathways of support to the service to assist with their knowledge and skills to respond effectively to domestic abuse also. The Trust may provide training on parental conflict alongside a toolkit for direct work. These requirements, and timescales, are subject to change during the planned procurement period. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/034286-2026 | | Notice type | UK3 - Planned Procurement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Below threshold - open competition | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 15 Apr 2026 | | Submission deadline | 12 Jun 2026 | | Future notice date | 26 May 2026 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Sep 2026 - 30 Sep 2029 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | BIRMINGHAM CHILDREN'S TRUST COMMUNITY INTEREST COMPANY | | Locality | BIRMINGHAM | | Post town | Birmingham | | Postcode | B6 4DU | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG3 West Midlands | | ITL 3 | TLG31 Birmingham | | Local authority | Birmingham | | Electoral ward | Nechells | | Westminster constituency | Birmingham Ladywood | | Delivery location | TLG31 Birmingham | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services - 98000000 - Other community, social and personal services ## Release History - 15 Apr 2026 at 13:42 - Planning - UK3 - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/034286-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/034286-2026 15th April 2026 - Planned procurement notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
