Family Support contracts
Dear FOI Team,
I would be most grateful if you would provide me, under the Freedom of Information Act, details in respect to Family Support contracts.
The details I require are:
• What family support contracts/services do you currently commission or deliver in house (including early intervention, prevention and edge of care)?
• If commissioned, how was the contract commissioned? Please confirm if it was direct award or via a formal procurement process.
• Please can you confirm the supplier/provider of each of these family support services/contracts?
• Please can you confirm the annual and total contract values of each of these contracts/services?
• Please can you confirm the start date & duration of each of these contracts?
• Could you please provide a copy of the service/product specification given to all bidders for when these contracts were last advertised?
• Within these services, do you use a keyworker model for delivery?
• Please can you confirm if there is an extension clause in each of these contracts and, if so, the duration of the extension?
• Has a decision been made yet on whether each of these contracts is being either extended, direct awarded or recommissioned? And if so what is the decision?
• Who is the senior officer (outside of procurement) responsible for each of these contracts?
• Are there any planned market engagement events for each of these contracts if they are being recommissioned?
• Are there any new family support contracts you intend to commission in the next 36 months that have already been confirmed/given permission to proceed?
Thank you for your help.
Yours sincerely
Isaac Amos
