As part of this commitment, BCFT will commission the delivery of the Pause Programme, a specialist service designed for parents who have previously had children removed from their care. BCFT intends to commission a service that strengthens the safety and wellbeing of children and families by addressing the complex needs of mothers who have experienced significant adversity.

The service will provide evidence‑based, personalised support to women across the Bradford District who have had children removed from their care. Through therapeutic interventions, improved access to health and community services, and focused work on resilience and life‑skills development, the service aims to break intergenerational cycles of harm. The overall goal is to improve long‑term outcomes for women and reduce the likelihood of future care proceedings. This contract will run for a maximum duration of seven (7) years, beginning with an initial 42‑month term starting on 1 September 2026. BCFT may also apply two optional extensions of up to 21 months each, covering the periods 1 March 2030 – 30 November 2031 and 1 December 2031 – 31 August 2033.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 85. The category anchor is Social work and related services (85300000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Indicative price outcome

£1,982,802 is the median lowest-valid-bid benchmark for the broad CPV market sample, against this procedure’s published value of £3,047,653.

This is a historical comparator, not a bid-price forecast or a guaranteed saving. It excludes records where the published values cannot be sensibly compared and does not adjust for lot structure, quality weighting, framework terms or scope.
