The tender stage is active, with interested parties asked to submit their bids by the 24th of March 2025, and the contract period running from the 1st of June 2025 to the 30th of November 2025. The procurement method is an open procedure above the threshold with a budget ranging from £150,000 to £250,000. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in educational services, particularly those adept at developing best practice guides rooted in research and case studies.
The focus on Family Group Decision Making (FGDM) means that companies with a strong background in children's social care will find this tender particularly well-suited to their capabilities. The Department for Education encourages submissions from Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises (VCSEs), opening avenues for growth and collaboration with the government. Successful participation in this tender could bolster a company's portfolio and provide substantial influence in shaping social care practices across multiple regions.
Family Group Decision Making (FGDM) is an umbrella term to describe a family-led process that allows a family network to come together and make a plan in response to concerns about a child's safety and wellbeing. FGDM meetings help to ensure a family network is engaged and empowered throughout the decision-making process of a children's social care journey, and can include identifying practical support for parents, while prioritising the wellbeing of the child. Children's Social Care is one of the Secretary of State's priorities and the FGDM policy links in with the Opportunity Mission.
Through this procurement, we want to deliver on the government's commitment to keep families together and children safe, as outlined in Keeping children safe, helping families thrive , published in November 2024. The Department is seeking to procure a package of best practice guidance and resources, which draw on research and case studies, for local authorities and practitioners of FGDM meetings to enable them to conduct these meetings safely and effectively. This will include guidance on safeguarding from harms and how to deliver effective FGDM meetings.
