What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe aim of this tender is to ensure that families who are affected by domestic abuse are able to access support at the earliest opportunity through Early Help and Family Hubs in their local community.

- the non-abusive parent and their children are supported to recover from the harm that domestic abuse causes.
- The non-abusive parent is supported to care for their children
- children able to attend, learn and achieve at school.
- young people ready for and contributing to adult life.
- children and young people safe from harm.
- a safe and stable home for the family.
- a reduction in contacts and referrals to Birmingham Children’s Trust.
The contract will commence on 1st October 2026 and will be in place for a period of 3 years with the option to extend for a further 2 (1 + 1) years subject to satisfactory performance and funding availability.
