About

Dorset Council is seeking a broad and diverse range of suitably qualified and experienced service providers to deliver family support packages that contribute to positive outcomes aligned with the National Supporting Families Outcome Framework. Family Support Packages are optional, small-scale services, interventions or activities that practitioners can access quickly to support whole-family working across early help and statutory services; examples include individual mentoring, support for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer (or questioning), and intersex young people and their families, interactive therapeutic approaches, mediation, counselling, relationship support, family support services, positive family activities and household management. Each package must contribute to the Lead Professional's family action or delivery plan and is not a stand-alone piece of work. This Dynamic Purchasing System is being established for the first time as part of a fully compliant tender process in accordance with the Public Contract Regulations 2015.
