There is no dedicated funding available for a strategic partnership in this space. This is not a public procurement exercise, nor a paid partnership or sponsorship opportunity and as such it will not lead to the award of a “public contract” as defined in the Procurement Act 2023. While Find a Tender Service would ordinarily be used in connection with a public procurement exercise, this is not the case here as it is being used to have a wide reach to the market. • The questionnaire will close for responses at 23:59 on Monday 3rd August 2026. Responses after this time will not be accepted. • DHSC will progress up to ten proposals that satisfy the criteria set out on page 3 of this notice. The final number of proposals selected will be based on the scoring methodology described herein, with those achieving the highest scores invited to enter negotiations. • Participation in this process does not create any obligation on either party to enter into a formal partnership or agreement. • DHSC recognises that organisations may wish to combine complementary skills, resources or experience by forming a consortium. We encourage strategic partnership proposals from consortia where they strengthen capability, capacity or coverage. Organisations submitting a consortium proposal must nominate a lead organisation to submit the proposal and act as the single point of contact. They must also clearly outline the consortium membership including the roles, responsibilities and contributions of each consortium member. • There are four scored questions for potential partners to answer. Each refers to key aspects of the partnership needs set out in Strategic Partnership Needs section of this notice. Each question will be scored on a scale of 0-4 which is set out below: Score Justification for Awarding Score 0 - The response does not demonstrate an understanding of the partnership needs and provides no confidence that the partnership needs will be delivered. 1 - The response meets elements of the partnership needs but raises concerns across several significant areas. There are reservations because the response shows: Some misunderstandings of the partnership needs, and a low level of information and detail provided. It provides insufficient confidence that the potential partner’s proposal will meet and deliver the partnership needs. 2... > [Read full procurement scope and specification on Tenderline](https://tenderline.uk/tenders/child-poverty-strategic-partnerships-ocds-h6vhtk-06c2ac) ## Lots (1) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** planning - **CPV codes:** 15000000, 18000000, 30000000, 33000000, 55000000, 55520000 - **Contract Period:** 03/08/2026 to 01/07/2030 ## Provenance and Official Sources - **Official Notice:** [Find a Tender notice](/out?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.find-tender.service.gov.uk%2FNotice%2F062438-2026) - **Last Source Update:** 2026-07-02T15:13:57.000Z - **This document generated:** 2026-10-24T20:10:19.575Z - **Machine API:** https://tenderline.uk/api/public/tenders/ocds-h6vhtk-06c2ac
