What is being bought

Published requirement description

This service will provide practical and preventative support to children, young people, and families experiencing financial hardship. The service aims to remove barriers to education, improve access to essential items, strengthen family resilience, and reduce the impact of poverty on educational outcomes. Support will combine immediate practical assistance with family coaching, early intervention, and access to wider support services to address both immediate need and longer-term challenges.

The service recognises that children cannot fully participate in education when basic material needs are unmet. Lasting change is best achieved by supporting the whole family.

The provider of this service should work closely with existing children services to ensure that families are referred to these services when appropriate and all appropriate support that is available is being received.

How bids are scored
Quality: 100%
Published sub-criteria (1)
  • Scoring matrix: 100%
Published award criteria (1)
  • Scoring matrix: The scoring matrix provides a consistent framework for evaluating supplier. Evaluators will assess each response and allocate a score based on the extent to which the bidder demonstrates their ability to meet or exceed the requirements. Scores are awarded using a standard scoring scale, with each score reflecting the quality, completeness, relevance, and credibility of the response. The score for each criterion will then be weighted according to its relative importance, and the weighted scores combined to determine the overall ranking of bids.

No conditions of participation were published on the notice; check the tender documents.

What this means for your bid
  • Turnover usually expected at this size: about £70,000 (twice the annual value).

Turnover is an indicative market norm (≈2× annual value), not a published condition.

About this data
  • Estimates, labelled. The price range, possible competitors and earlier-work matches are our estimates from past awards, not published facts, win chances or price advice. The buyer’s own record and the wider market are shown apart, never mixed.
  • Source. Official UK public procurement notices (Find a Tender and Contracts Finder), reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0, updated through the day and rebuilt nightly. Not every figure uses both feeds, and each one shows how many records it rests on: see the methodology. Spotted something wrong? Tell us.
