Description

Southend-on-Sea Borough Council invites expressions of interest from suitably experienced and qualified service providers capable of providing high quality Children's Centre services for families and children throughout the borough of Southend.
Southend has nine children's centres currently managed as a commissioned service to nine different providers.

We are looking to procure a new single delivery model which would aim to:

- Increase efficiency through joined up leadership and management and a single performance management rather than 9.

- Develop a strong single leadership and management platform to allow budgetary integration.

- Provide opportunities to jointly bid for outside funding and a sustainable delivery model

The successful Provider will work co-operatively and pro-actively with partner organisations to deliver a full range of Children's Centre services in line with the Children's Centre Statutory Guidance. They will provide high quality local services which are economically effective and have a positive impact on children, young people and families.

The contract will be awarded to the most economically advantageous tender in terms of the criteria stated in the specifications, and in the invitation to tender document.

Southend-on-Sea Borough Council welcomes submissions from all organisational types, including the Third Sector and Charitable Trusts.

The annual contract value will be capped at a maximum of no more than 1 039 000 GBP for 2016/17.
