What the notice says

Leicester City Council is considering Community Led Family Support Service to provide early, relationship- based support to families where neglect is persistent but remains below statutory thresholds. The service is intended to work alongside existing Early Help and statutory services, focusing on long term engagement, trust building and practical support within communities to prevent escalation of need. As part of the commissioning process, the authority is undertaking a soft market test. This gives potential providers and other stakeholders the opportunity to express their interests and feed in their views about the potential service model and specification principles. The commissioners will use the information to appraise options and further develop the specification. A formal tender process will then follow.

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.
