Scope
Description
Activities for parents with their children, involving music to enrich and stimulate their children's early brain development and to improve their readiness for school. Incorporating other skills such as use of basic signing / rhyming would be welcomed.
Sessions should target families with children in different age / stage abilities e.g. baby, or toddler, or pre-school. Back-to-back sessions with a short 'reset' period between them could be programmed.
Preference in all areas will be given to those organisations able to
clearly demonstrate that their service: -
• is targeting specific and identified need in specific areas within Bromley; and
• is not duplicating statutory provision but is providing additionality
Total value (estimated)
- £48,000 excluding VAT
- £57,600 including VAT
Below the relevant threshold
Contract dates (estimated)
- 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027
- Possible extension to 31 March 2031
- 5 years
Description of possible extension:
It is anticipated that the Contract will commence on 01 April 2026 and be for an initial period of 1 year, with an option to extend on the same terms and conditions for up to 3 years on a 1+1+1+1 basis. The rationale for a contract award of 1+1+1+1 is due to the nature of the service; we require suppliers to be able to deliver specialised services locally across the borough and to be able to fully meet the changing needs of the early intervention and Public Health priorities and most importantly, the needs of the local community and the published priorities, and other Bromley council strategies. All provision will be reviewed on an annual basis to ensure activities/services remain responsive and are continuing to meet the needs of our local community.
