What the notice says

THIS IS NOT A TENDER/CONTRACT OPPORTUNITY - It is a market engagement process. Nottingham City Council are seeking to better understand the current 'Parental Support' sector (Intervention service required - supporting parents who have experienced multiple children removed from their care, to achieve better outcomes and prevent further removal of children), to gain an understanding of market capability and experience, appetite for the service proposal, capacity, current delivery models, and any considerations linked to TUPE, staffing, timescales or cost expectations, so this can help tailor our future service requirement before proceeding to formal procurement. The Authority is seeking early market feedback from organisations/providers able to deliver an intensive, trauma informed intervention for parents (mothers, fathers, and partners) who have experienced or are at risk of repeat care proceedings.

How to bid

  1. Read the full notice on Find a Tender, including any tender documents it links to.
  2. Register your organisation on the Central Digital Platform (through Find a Tender) if you have not already. Suppliers need to be registered to take part in procurements under the Procurement Act 2023.
  3. Follow the submission instructions in the notice; it does not name an e-tendering portal.
