Volunteer Family Support Project - Early Years

The procurement process, initiated by Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council, seeks to establish a "Volunteer Family Support Project - Early Years" aimed at engaging families in the Reddish and Offerton areas of Stockport. This initiative falls under the health and social work services category and is conducted via an open, below-threshold competition. Key details include the procurement stage currently labelled as 'tender', with a tender period concluding on 6th June 2025 and final submissions due electronically by this date.

The intended start date for contract execution is the 23rd of June 2025, lasting for a 12-month period, governed under special 'light touch' rules. This procurement represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in community outreach, health, and social work services, particularly those adept at delivering impactful family support programmes. With a focus on new and small enterprises, including SMEs and VCSEs, the project seeks to partner with organisations that can offer high-quality enhancements in social value and price competitiveness.

Given its highly localised impact and clear social objectives, companies experienced in delivering community-based projects and family engagement strategies are well-positioned to leverage this opportunity for business growth and community development.
