Whole Family Working Services

Tender description

We are looking for early help partners and providers within Kirklees to bid for the opportunity for additional funds which may be needed to embed Whole Family working into their service provision. By the end of the contract period, it will be expected that this way of working will be fully adopted by the service, and that this is the minimum expectation of all practitioners working and delivering early help to families. To ensure that this is embedded it will be an essential requirement of the contract to share person level data about families assessed, and those supported to achieve significant and sustainable outcomes, therefore information sharing agreements and sharing of data is key to demonstrating the success of the contract. We are looking for providers who can clearly demonstrate their impact upon the Kirklees Stronger Families Outcomes Plan (SFOP) referred to within the specification. The estimated value of the Services to be awarded is approximately £600,000.00 for the full three (3) year duration of the Contract, £200,000.00 per annum, subject to confirmation in February 2022 of final funding for the Stronger Families Programme by the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC). The Council is looking to enter into Contracts with up to a maximum of five (5) Providers. The anticipated commencement date for the Contracts is 1st April 2022. The anticipated expiry date for the Contracts is 31st March 2024, with the option to extend for a further 12 months subject to funding being available.
