Description

Providers of the Locality and Intensive Family Support Services will support the aims and objectives of the Services by:
- Providing holistic, nurturing and relationship-based family support, where every child and young person is supported to achieve their full potential by adopting a strengths-based and rights-enabling approach that focuses on individual and family assets.
- Supporting meaningful partnership working and collaborative problem solving by seeing families as experts in their own lives.
- Listening to what families are saying, what they say they need and how they want to achieve it, and work in partnership with them to identify supports and solutions that can help.
- Working with children, young people, their parents, brothers and sisters, and wider family members as appropriate, to provide practical and emotional support. This will include tailored intervention with holistic, wraparound scaffolding and provision of timely, responsive, and flexible supports to meet the individual needs of the whole family.
- Committing to tackling financial exclusion and viewing families’ pressures and stressors through a poverty and trauma-informed lens, contributing to reducing social inequalities and helping families to connect with supports within their neighbourhoods.
- Building on individual and family community networks, supporting long-term resilience and meaningful change to improve wellbeing and deliver positive, lasting outcomes for families that will allow them to confidently move on from the service.
- Being empathic and enabling, by asking, ‘What will it take to keep this family together?’ and ‘What can I do to support this family today?’
- Providing support to every child, young person, and family to help them contribute positively to their communities throughout their lives.
- Continuing to develop the service collaboratively with stakeholders and in particular by embedding the successful elements of the current service into a model of practice.

Domestic Abuse Intensive Family Support

Domestic abuse is a serious issue, both nationally and locally. The complex nature of domestic abuse and the associated harm and inequalities it creates - including mental and physical ill health, homelessness and unemployment - has a drastic, negative and long-lasting impact upon the safety, health and wider life chances of families. The Trust’s vision is to build a Trust that provides excellent social work and family support for and with the city’s most vulnerable children, young people and families. The commissioned service will work with between 5 and 10 families affected by domestic abuse by providing intensive support over a period of up to two years. The expectation is that the Provider will work with the whole family including survivors, perpetrators, children and the wider family support network. The Provider will support in reducing domestic abuse in Birmingham and will ensure that the needs of children are being met in the home. Families will be identified during mobilisation and, once consent has been sought, information will be shared with the successful Provider within the first week of the contract. It is expected that the Provider will review the shared information around suitability and work will begin with families within the third week of the contract. The Provider is expected to engage in transparent and collaborative discussions with the Trust to determine the appropriate level of support for each family. Should it be assessed that a family does not require intensive intervention and the service is therefore deemed unsuitable, the Provider will promptly commence work with a new family. The work will be evaluated for impact and outcomes for the family. Service activity • work with families identified by the Trust • provide intensive support to families for up to two years (minimum of one session per week initially (the ongoing level of appropriate contact can be discussed with the social worker) and become the lead professional for the family at the appropriate time • provide weekly written progress updates to the allocated social worker and attend and actively participate in Child In Need (CIN) / Child Protection (CP) / core group meetings where appropriate /multi-disciplinary case supervision • evidence how risk is assessed and managed in safety planning throughout the duration of involvement with the family • escalate immediate safety concerns to the allocated social worker • refer to other specialist services where appropriate • provide comprehensive exit strategies to families at the point of closure • provide support to families in stepping down to universal services • support in the prevention of non-family care arrangements This service is a pilot, and the duration of the contract will initially be two years with the potential to extend for two years (1 + 1), beginning 2nd February 2026. The contract will be reviewed on an annual basis with a break clause after January 2027, and each subsequent year; with the continuation of the contract based on funding availability and performance. A Planned Procurement Notice was published on 01 October 2025 (Publication reference: 2025/S 000-061384) The Trust will be using its free to use e-tendering system (in-tend) for the administration of this procurement process and potential suppliers must register with the system to be able to express an interest.

Provision of anti-social behaviour (ASB) / non-crime restorative service

In relation to the previously advertised tender opportunity (Notice Identifier: 2025/S 000-061252, Procurement Identifier: ocds-h6vhtk-05a5ba), the Police and Crime Commissioner for Warwickshire (PCC) received no compliant bids for Lot 2, which related to the provision of an Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) / Non-Crime Restorative Service. As a result, the PCC has taken the decision to reapproach the market for this specific service only. This reissue applies solely to Lot 2; the other lot within the original procurement may proceed to award as planned. Following the discovery that Lot 2 in the original procurement could not be awarded, a decision has been made to reissue this opportunity as soon as possible. This will allow for consideration of any voluntary standstill period and ensure alignment, as far as practicable, with the Restorative Justice service. This notice serves to inform the market that Lot 2 from the original procurement has been terminated and will not be awarded. The PCC now invites tenders from suitably qualified providers for the delivery of restorative justice services across Warwickshire, specifically for cases where no crime has occurred. The service will form part of a Multi-Agency Restorative Justice Hub (MARJH) and will deliver restorative interventions for incidents of anti-social behaviour and other non-crime harms. The aim is to provide an accessible, proportionate, and effective early intervention option that supports victims, offenders, and communities through facilitated dialogue, mediation, and reconciliation. The contract will be awarded for an initial pilot period of one year, with the option to extend for up to four additional periods of twelve months each. The PCC has allocated an annual budget of £25,000 for the delivery of this service. This funding is provided as part of a pilot project, and if the pilot is successful and funding remains available, the same funding envelope will apply to any extension periods. The service will be excluded from the PCC’s annual grants process. Providers are encouraged to demonstrate value for money and focus resources on effective frontline service delivery. Funding for this service is partly reliant on Government grant, and where such funding is used, the associated grant terms and conditions will apply in full to the appointed service provider. This procurement is being conducted under the Light Touch Regime and falls below the relevant threshold, therefore it is outside the scope of the Procurement Act 2023. The tendering process will be managed via the PCC’s e-tendering portal, Sell2 (https://sell2.in-tend.co.uk/blpd/publictenders). Suppliers can access the opportunity free of charge by registering on the portal, logging in, navigating to the ‘Portals’ section, and selecting “Connect with Organisation” for Warwickshire Police.
