## Summary

Ashfield District Council is seeking a single supplier to deliver the school-based Kirkby Family Wellbeing Pilot for the Kirkby Neighbourhood Board, as part of the Kirkby Pride in Place Programme. The service will provide practical, trusted and early support to families experiencing financial pressure, low confidence, social isolation or wider wellbeing challenges. It aims to improve engagement with residents who may not use traditional support services and must complement, rather than duplicate, existing provision. The work covers family wellbeing support delivered through schools in Nottinghamshire, particularly the Kirkby area. The procurement is for services including guidance and education support. Nottinghamshire County Council is conducting the procurement on behalf of Ashfield District Council.

The process has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It is a single-lot procurement, with electronic submission allowed. Enquiries had to be submitted by 6 October 2026 at 12:00, and tenders were due by 20 October 2026 at 12:00. The initial contract period runs from 1 January 2027 to 31 July 2028, lasting 19 months, with a possible extension of up to six months, subject to performance, funding and approval. The initial pilot budget is a £140,000 ceiling excluding VAT, inclusive of all costs; bids must not exceed it. The total contract value including the possible extension is £173,000 excluding VAT. Evaluation is quality 60%, price 30%, quantitative social value 5% and qualitative social value 5%, alongside a pass/fail Nottinghamshire eligibility question.

This opportunity suits an organisation experienced in delivering family wellbeing, early intervention, guidance, education or related community support through schools. Suppliers should be able to build trusted relationships with families facing financial pressure, low confidence, isolation and wider wellbeing challenges, while engaging residents who do not use conventional services. The successful provider will need to lead the pilot as a single supplier, coordinate delivery with schools and existing support services, and demonstrate suitably qualified and experienced staff. Participation is restricted to providers with an office in Nottinghamshire that conduct their services in Nottinghamshire. The procurement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, making it relevant to locally established specialist providers.
