two.1.4) Short description
South Gloucestershire Council is a Unitary Authority in the South West of England. The Council currently commissions a variety of services for adults and children.
The Council is inviting tenders from potential providers who may be interested in working alongside the Council to develop a coordinated offer of family support across South Gloucestershire. This is to ensure that families who may require additional help have access to effective community-based support including parenting and other group programs, direct work with a key worker and a team around the family.
We are seeking a provider to offer parenting support to approximately 100 families a year via group programmes and 1:1 work. We are also looking for dedicated parenting programmes to support parents of children with SEND. Interventions must be evidence-based, include the whole family, and clearly evidence improved outcomes. The work will concentrate on families requiring help at ‘Universal Plus’ and will contribute to Families in Focus (the national Supporting Families Programme).
The expected duration of the contract is 36 months, with the potential to extend for a further 24 months, making a total contract term of 60 months. Any contract extension or renewal will be dependent upon continued need for the service, satisfactory performance and availability of funding. It is anticipated that this contract would start on 1st May 2024.
Potential suppliers will need to express an interest in this opportunity in order to see and receive all the latest tender documents.
