Whole Family Working Services

These contracts are to embed Whole Family working into provider's service provision. By the end of the contract period, it will be expected that this way of working will be fully adopted by the service, and that this is the minimum expectation of all practitioners working and delivering early help to families. To ensure that this is embedded it will be an essential requirement of the contract to share person level data about families assessed, and those supported to achieve significant and sustainable outcomes, therefore information sharing agreements and sharing of data is key to demonstrating the success of the contract. We have contracted with providers who can clearly demonstrate their impact upon the Kirklees Stronger Families Outcomes Plan (SFOP) referred to within the specification. The estimated value of the Services to be awarded is approximately £600,000.00 for the full three (3) year duration of the Contract, £200,000.00 per annum (up to a maximum of 5 providers), subject to confirmation in February 2022 of final funding for the Stronger Families Programme by the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC). The commencement date for the Contracts is 1st April 2022. The anticipated expiry date for the Contracts is 31st March 2024, with the option to extend for a further 12 months subject to funding being available. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (‘SMEs’). However, any selection of economic operators will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement, and the contract will be awarded to the most economically advantageous tender on the basis of the award criteria in the tender documentation.
