Tender: Citywide Community-Led Family Support Service for Persistent Family Neglect

About

The Council is seeking a supplier for a new citywide Community Led Family Support Service to provide sustained, relationship-based and practical support to families where neglect is a persistent concern but falls below Family Help or statutory safeguarding thresholds and where intervention from Family Help or Children’s Social Care is not required at the point of referral. A single supplier will be commissioned to improve children’s daily lived experience by supporting families to make and sustain changes in relation to neglect, parenting capacity, routines, home conditions, family functioning and engagement with support. The total possible contract duration is seven years: an initial three-year term with the option to extend for up to a further four years on a two plus two basis, subject to funding.
