two.2.4) Description of the procurement
The Family Wellbeing Support Worker (FWSW) service is a key element of the Whole Family Wellbeing Fund - Primary Care programme.
The programme will work with families registered with the specified GP practices. These practices are all in areas of deprivation and include population groups who experience significant health and social inequalities. The programme will have the fundamental aim of providing support and building capacity at both individual and family levels.
Family Wellbeing Support Workers will be embedded in their allocated GP Practice and provide support to families within the GP Practice population. Work will flow from the GP practice including any members of the practice team (e.g. GP, Health Visitor, Community Link Worker, etc.).
Whilst there are no strict referral criteria, the service will focus on supporting families with children/young people where the family need some additional support. A family member must be registered with the participating GP practice. Referral reasons can be varied and a holistic approach to working with a person/family is adopted. The workforce should be multi-skilled in supporting individuals and families with non-clinical issues aiming to mitigate the social determinants of health. The FWSW service will have no restrictions on the duration of support. Dependant on need, this can range from one appointment to support lasting several months.
There will be high demand for the programme so prioritisation and effective caseload management will be crucial while working with people one to one and, potentially for a small part of the role, delivering group work.
Each FWSW will be assigned a main GP practice however they may be required to cover other GP practices at times when the service requires.

Funding is unpredictable and contract value may also increase within any given year up to a maximum of 100%. If extra funding is available the additional service delivery will be awarded to the successful supplier without further competition.
