Description
NWL CCG requires the provision of Family Support Services in Hillingdon. The service provides support to families in the borough who have a child under 5 and are struggling to cope with a variety of challenges to offering a stable, loving and nurturing family life. For example parental mental ill health, disability or additional needs of child or parent, being a victim of domestic abuse, isolation, being a refugee or asylum seeker, inadequate housing or other difficulties. The service recruits volunteers with parenting experience from the local community and trains them to provide parent to parent emotional and/or practical support, with the aim of preventing these difficulties escalating into crisis, or family breakdown. Referrals come from GPs, childrens centres, Health visiting, or a self referral.
The service addresses health inequalities in the Borough providing additional support for families and CYP in greatest need around emotional well-being, social isolation supporting early intervention aiming to reduce crisis. The service works in an integrated model and is aligned with HHCP and the wider community wrap around support.
The CCG currently has contract arrangements in place with Homestart to a value of £9,281.00 per annum. The service works in an integrated model and is aligned with HHCP, community volunteers, and the wider community wrap around support. The CCG is currently of the view that Homestart provides the best value for money to the community and the intention of this notice is to be transparent in the desire to award a further contract to Homestart beyond May 2022. Any capable provider may come forward by 29th April 2022 to engage with the CCG. In your response to this opportunity, please advise your interest and demonstrate capacity and capability to deliver this service via:
https://airtable.com/shr52NBGIuyGSsvoY
If it is that Homestart is the only provider capable of delivering the service, then the CCG will look to award a further contract to the provider for up to 36 months beyond May 2022.
Whilst the CCG considers its procurement options for these services going forward, it may extend its arrangements with the current provider until a new contract is awarded.
During 2022, it is anticipated that NWL CCG will be succeeded by an Integrated Care Board (ICB). Any future contract and/or procurement opportunity may therefore be in the name of the ICB.
