Descriptions

In 2015 the Contracting Authority competitively tendered through an Open procedure for a three year contract in Hampshire only which commenced on 1st April 2016. In late 2019, commissioners took up the legally provisioned option to extend for 2 years until 31st March 2021., In 2020 the contract was extended by another 6 months plus 6 months until 31st March 2022. Under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, the Contracting Authority considered COVID-19 to be a state of urgency that had been brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority could not have foreseen. A response to the pandemic was therefore required in order to safeguard public health risks and risk to life by securing safe and continued service provision. , Barnardos Specialist Parenting Support Services provide parenting programmes for families with children aged 5-17 years, with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) and ASC (Autism Spectrum Condition) in Hampshire (not including Southampton, Portsmouth or Isle of Wight).
