Tameside Family Peer Support Programme
Main contract details
Tameside Council would like to take the opportunity to do some ‘soft market testing’ to determine current interest levels in the market.
Aim of the Service
The aim of the Tameside Peer Support Programme is to develop and deliver support individually tailored to families, through a peer support model, using strength-based and relational approaches.
The Tameside Peer Support Programme aims to support families with children aged between 0-5 years, with a series of low level needs in relation, but not exclusive, to: child development (namely speech, language and communication); child health and wellbeing, such as oral health, food, nutrition, physical activity and childhood injuries; the effects of the cost of living crisis; and parental needs, such as mild mental health and parenting.
THIS IS NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION
The soft market test is intended to allow interested organisations with relevant experience to outline their views and provide information with no commitment to themselves or the Council.
The Council is looking to award a contract commencing 1st April 2025. If a decision is made to tender this service, the approximate annual budget is £75,000 (however, this could be increased subject to external funding allocation). It is envisaged that the initial contract would be for a period of 3 years. During the soft market test we would like to gauge the level of interest.
Stage 1 - Interested suppliers are required to complete the general information form (see Section 5) and a short questionnaire (see Appendix 1). Suppliers who complete and return the questionnaire may be invited to meet with Council representatives to discuss its requirements.
The questionnaire should be returned via The Chest - https://www.the-chest.org.uk/ by 12 noon on Friday 19 April 2024.
Chest Reference is DN719022 and can be found under the Current Opportunities for Tameside Council
