The contract runs from 1st October 2025 to 30th September 2029. This initiative operates within the 'Other community, social and personal services' industry category, targeting social welfare services for children and young people in England. This tender opens avenues for businesses specialising in family-focused services, particularly in the educational and health sectors, to expand their market presence.
Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to engage due to suitability requirements. The contract emphasises engaging vulnerable families, requiring providers adept in relational service delivery and adaptability to family needs, perfect for organisations prioritising social impact and relationship-building. With Rutland County Council's commitment to high-quality service delivery, vendors with a proven track record and a strong understanding of the social services landscape will find this contract an excellent opportunity to grow and innovate within the community services domain.
The Council wishes to invite tenders for the supply of services in respect of Family Hub Services. The Council has launched a new Living Well Rutland Service that combines its library, health, wellbeing, and adult learning services into one. The Family Hub, which is part of Living Well Rutland, provides high quality play and learning sessions for children from vulnerable Rutland families alongside a programme of parenting support for adults.
As the Council develops its Living Well Rutland offer, the family hub element will provide a more focused offer for families identified as needing extra support. This requires an understanding of their needs, how to engage them and flexibility in the delivery of services. Family hubs hold relationships at the heart of service delivery.
The ability to listen well and listen carefully to families, be curious about a child's life within a family and understand the 'world' of not only the child but the parent too is essential. This will generate the greatest positive impact. If we can understand, we can support effectively and in a timely fashion.
To do this we need consistency of delivery, quality, and staff. Children and their families need the opportunity to build trusted relationships to talk about support they may need. This tender is following a soft market testing exercise which was issued in December 2024, Find a Tender ref: 2024/S 000-038241 and Contracts Finder ref: EMPWELL001-DN756675-47390153.
