Summary of the contracting process
Flintshire County Council has initiated a tender process titled "Families First- Young Carers with additional needs and/or a disability," falling under the services category, specifically targeting welfare services for children and young people. This procurement, guided by the UKPGA 2023 legislation, requires service providers in Flintshire, United Kingdom (region UKL23), to support young carers with additional needs, ensuring they can access supportive activities. The tender is currently active and in the tender stage, with an end date set for 2nd February 2026 for tender submission and 26th January 2026 for enquiries.
The contract, backed by Welsh Government funding through the Children and Communities Grant, spans one year with potential extensions, stipulating a value of £200,000 under an open competition procurement method. This tender presents an opportunity for organisations, particularly SMEs and VCSEs, to engage in a project aimed at supporting vulnerable young carers, hence contributing to social value in the community. Businesses equipped to deliver welfare services to young people with disabilities or additional needs, and those with experience in crafting engaging, supportive environments for youth, would be well-suited to compete.
By engaging with Flintshire's Early Help Hub and the broader Flintshire Carers Network, participating organisations can not only fulfil a community need but also establish themselves as pivotal service providers in the region, potentially extending the contract over up to four years based on performance and available funding.
Notice Description
Outline Local Authorities in Wales receives funding known as the Children and Communities Grant (CCG) from Welsh Government on an annual basis. One of eight projects that the grant must fund is known as Families First. Flintshire County Council commissions some of its services from external providers utilising the Families First element of the CCG. Aims of the Project This tender is specifically aimed at Young Carers who have their own support needs to enable them to access groups/activities with other young carers and/or young people of their own age/similar interests to allow for a break from their caring role. All young carers supported must have had a young carers assessment and require support for an additional need/disability. This may be on a one to one basis and should also take into account transport needs to support access to groups/activities. The tender is open to organisations that can provide the support for the young carer to attend their chosen activity and/or provide the activities themselves for young carers with additional needs and/or a disability. There will be a need to work with the organisation that undertakes the Young Carers assessments in Flintshire and also the wider Flintshire Carers Network, the Early Help Hub and various departments withing Flintshire County Council. INTRODUCTION TO FAMILIES FIRST Flintshire Families First 2026/28 - Welsh Government Funding The Children and Communities Grant (CCG) currently funds eight Welsh Government programmes that address the support needs of the most vulnerable children and adults in our communities through a range of early intervention, prevention and support mechanisms. The CCG seeks to mitigate or remove disadvantage to vulnerable people to enable them to have the same life chances as others, and therefore contribute to a more equal Wales. Families First is specifically aimed at improving outcomes for children, young people and families. The programme is designed to reduce the numbers of young people and families developing more complex needs and requiring more intensive and costly interventions at a later date. Key areas of focus include the provision of: - A team around the family (TAF), which in Flintshire is a team that assesses What Matters to families also called a part 2 assessment which is consent led, and coordinates the delivery of multidisciplinary interventions for families with multiple needs - Support for parents and carers - Support for young people - Support for disabled children, young people and their families In Flintshire, all these services are co-located within the Early Help Hub (EHH). This ensures that Families First service providers are able to better share information, plan and integrate services in ways that help ensure Flintshire families have their needs met from the right place in the right way and at the right time. This contract is for 1 year with the option to extend for upto 3 further years subject to regular reviews of performance, local needs and available funding .
