Community Led Family Support Services

Descriptions

Leicester City Council is considering Community Led Family Support Service to provide early, relationship- based support to families where neglect is persistent but remains below statutory thresholds.

The service is intended to work alongside existing Early Help and statutory services, focusing on long term engagement, trust building and practical support within communities to prevent escalation of need.

As part of the commissioning process, the authority is undertaking a soft market test. This gives potential providers and other stakeholders the opportunity to express their interests and feed in their views about the potential service model and specification principles. The commissioners will use the information to appraise options and further develop the specification.

Engagement

As part of the commissioning process, the authority is undertaking a soft market test. This gives potential providers and other stakeholders the opportunity to express their interests and feed in their views about the potential service model and specification principles. The commissioners will use the information to appraise options and further develop the specification. This process does not constitute a formal tender or other competitive bidding process and will not result in the letting of a Contract. The authority is using this process solely to test the market to gather information and ascertain the level of interest in this particular service. There are therefore no formal criteria which we will use to judge your responses and it is not our intention to provide any feedback.
