Childrens Support Services Framework

The London Borough of Hackney is in the planning stage of a public procurement process for the "Children's Support Services Framework" in the social work services sector. Located in London, United Kingdom, this framework is structured with a start date for the delivery of services set for 4th May 2026, extending initially to 2029 with a possibility of renewal. It aims to partner with voluntary, community, and independent organisations for delivering specific interventions to support children, young people, and families.

There are four Lots within the framework: Positive / Structured Activities, Specialist Mentoring Support, Community-Based Parenting Assessments, and Crisis Intervention and Specialist Support. The upcoming procurement involves a potential framework agreement facilitating value up to GBP 2,500,000, with significant engagement and important deadlines scheduled, including a communication notice on 19th January 2026 for planning and expressions of interest closing on 17th November 2025 for upcoming market engagement. This tender represents a valuable opportunity for businesses, particularly SMEs and voluntary organisations, to expand their operations by partnering with a local government authority.

The framework builds on principles of Systemic, Trauma Informed, and Anti-Racist Practice, offering companies a chance to engage in meaningful work that enhances the wellbeing and independence of children and families. Suitable businesses include those with expertise in social care, particularly entities specialising in mentoring, parenting assessments, and crisis interventions, offering diverse services aligned with the tender's structured Lots. Collaborating with the London Borough of Hackney, organisations will benefit from a robust, performance-monitored contract, ensuring a consistent quality of service delivery while contributing positively to community outcomes and adhering to legislative requirements.
