The service is located in Newport, South Wales, with the contact point being Joanne James of Newport City Council. By planning to commence on 1st April 2025, the council is seeking expressions of interest and will invite interested providers to a meeting on Wednesday, 6th November, to discuss further requirements and business plans. Providers are asked to submit their interest via email to procure@newport.gov.uk. This procurement process aims to establish a long-term partnership, initially for five years, with an optional extension of an additional five years. This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses experienced in social work and family support services, particularly those able to contribute a minimum investment of £200,000, excluding VAT. Newport City Council will match this investment on a ratio of approximately 4:1, encouraging ongoing development and potential for additional funding. The initiative focuses on enhancing a range of family support services in Newport, including Domestic Abuse Response, Therapeutic Teams, and Rapid Response Teams. As such, businesses specialising in these areas, or those capable of securing further investments for community support projects, are well-suited to compete in this tender process. ## Notice In 2010, the Council entered into a collaborative partnership with a preferred partner to invest, shape and develop local priorities and plans to promote an IFSS model in Newport.This partnership has resulted in a range of developments including Family Support Team (FST). The existing provider has invested in, developed and jointly managed the delivery of the wider IFSS as part of a collaborative partnership with the Council from 1st April 2011.
