Children's Centres VEAT Notice

Tender description

Kent County Council is seeking to directly award two contracts for provision of family hubs in Margate, Thanet and Sheerness, Sheppey in the county of Kent. The Family Hub concept is to provide families with a single access point to integrated family support services. Services will include those that we recognise in Kent as Early Help, linking across Children, Young People and Education, Public Health and the NHS with emphasis on being a one stop shop for help and support for families with social, emotional, physical and financial needs. Lot 1: The procurement process will be a negotiated procedure without a call for competition. There is a need to award contracts in these areas for 18 months, with an optional break clause after 12 months whilst the wider scoping is undertaken of Family Hub services in Kent and this opportunity will then be competitively tendered.
