25067 Supervised Family Time Framework

Cambridgeshire County Council is in the planning stage of a procurement process, seeking to establish a framework for Supervised Family Time services. This procurement, set within the social work and related services industry category, targets providers located in the Eastern Region and other parts of the UK. Interested parties are invited to participate in online market engagement events scheduled for 10th and 23rd February 2026.

A questionnaire is also available for providers to share insights into their services before the procurement deadline on 20th February 2026. The contract, which is valued above threshold and follows a light-touch regime, is expected to start on 15th July 2026 and could extend up to 2031 with renewals. Further notices are anticipated by 18th March 2026.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses experienced in child and family support services, particularly those capable of delivering safe and positive family interactions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, as the framework agreement includes suitability criteria favouring such entities. By joining this framework, businesses can expand their service offerings and gain a foothold in providing essential social services throughout the Eastern Region and potentially beyond.
