This initiative, located within the Fife region of Scotland, is part of the education category and aims to address emotional challenges faced by families. The procurement process involves a planned programme with an estimated value of £210,000 GBP, and applications are invited for a grant-funded service rather than a typical tender. Interested parties should submit their applications by 6th March 2026, following the publication of future notices on 16th February 2026. This opportunity allows businesses specialising in educational services, particularly those with a focus on family and outdoor activities, to leverage their expertise for community benefit and growth. Companies with experience in developmental programmes for children and those skilled in parental engagement strategies could find this a lucrative opportunity. By contributing to this initiative, businesses can expand their portfolio within the public sector and enhance their reputation by supporting local authorities in addressing social and emotional challenges within communities. ## Notice In recent years, increasing numbers of children and families have faced challenges related to emotional regulation, social isolation, and mental health. It is recognised that children's emotional wellbeing is influenced by the mental health of their parents and carers. When parents experience stress, anxiety, or isolation, it can affect their ability to support their child's emotional wellbeing, leading to difficulties in behaviour, relationships, and resilience. This service brief outlines a new programme designed for families of children in Primary 1-4, using outdoor environments to nurture emotional wellbeing through play, exploration, and family engagement. The programme will adopt a whole-family approach, recognising the importance of parental involvement in the development of their child's emotional wellbeing. ### Lot Information Lot 1 In recent years, increasing numbers of children and families have faced challenges related to emotional regulation, social isolation, and mental health.
