Description

Mentoring and befriending are part of a range of early intervention services that make up the Early Help Strategy in Herefordshire. Early Help means providing help for children and families as soon as problems start to emerge or when there is a strong likelihood that problems will emerge in the future. Herefordshire's Early Help is therefore about providing services at the right time to meet family's needs and to keep them in control of resolving their issues and problems, to reinforce and develop the family's own skills to determine their future, reducing poor outcomes and inequalities.
Tenders are invited from suitably experienced and qualified providers to deliver the service from April 2020 and the Council will be re-commissioning the services by way of two separate Lots. Providers will be permitted to bid for a single Lot or for both Lots together: To see the full documentation relating to the opportunity and to tender for this service please go to www.supplyingthesouthwest.org.uk and search under Herefordshire council.
