Description

Request for Quotation for the provision of Stay and Play drop-in services
RFQ response Deadline: 8th April 2022
London Borough of Camden is seeking responses to an RFQ process for the provision of Stay and Play drop-in services for children under 5 years and their mums, dads & carers.

Stay & Play drop-ins
Stay and Play drop-ins are provided by Camden Early Years' Service and VCS organisations across the borough. Stay and Play services directly provided and funded through IEYS aim to support families with children under 5 years by offering easily accessible, inclusive play sessions in local neighbourhoods and communities.
Stay and Play services:
Support mothers, fathers, and carers to support their children's learning and development through play and positive interactions
Help families to become aware of the range of services available and how to access support
Provide a place for mothers, fathers and carers to meet together, reducing social isolation and enabling positive engagement in their local community
Borough-wide implementation
The Early Years' Service operates a locality model, with 5 localities across the borough. These are Euston, Kentish Town East, Kentish Town West, Kilburn Priory and Kings Cross & Holborn. There is one children's centre hub in each locality. Work is currently underway to re-purpose some of the Early Years' nurseries to create additional children's centres. The re-purposed buildings are Hampden (Euston locality), Konstam (Kentish Town East) and Rhyl (Kentish Town West).
Opportunity
We will be procuring Stay & Play provision delivered by Camden VCS organisations to ensure all families, especially those that are most disadvantaged, have access to stay and play drop-ins across the borough in a range of venues. The total annual value of the contract is £70K.
There is an opportunity:
To provide stay and play drop-ins for mums, dads and carers and their children
For IEYS and VCS organisations to work in partnership to support families in the early years
Please register your interest and access the RFQ response documents through ProContract
