Skills Development - Early Intervention Services for Parents and Their Children Within the 6 Children and Family Centres and Other Related Venues

The London Borough of Bromley is initiating a public procurement process for providing skills development and early intervention services for parents and their children across six Children and Family Centres and other related venues. This tender aims to enhance adult life skills with a focus on proactive skill-building and signposting to further educational courses, targeting specific needs in Bromley. It falls under the health and social work services category and is at the 'Tender' stage, with submissions accepted electronically until 29th September 2025.

The project is classified as a below-threshold open competition under a light-touch regime and preempts a contract that may commence on 1st April 2026 for an initial year, with potential extensions until 2030. This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for enterprises, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), capable of providing innovative services locally. Businesses specialising in life skills, education, family support, and health and social work would find this procurement particularly suitable.

The flexible, ongoing nature of service delivery and the potential for a long-term contract allow for sustained partnership with the London Borough of Bromley, fostering community-focused service development compliant with Bromley's strategic priorities. The evaluation criterion will focus on the most advantageous tender, possibly splitting awards among multiple providers, further broadening participation opportunities.
