In plain English
Wirral Council wants a provider to run court-ordered Family Time sessions, which are supervised meetings where children spend time with a parent or family member. The sessions must take place within Wirral and in other areas outside the borough. The contract is worth about £2.97 million.
What the buyer wants
• Deliver court-directed Family Time sessions for children across Wirral • Deliver sessions outside the borough where the court or family circumstances require it • Run contact sessions to a standard the court and the council can rely on, with proper recording and reporting
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
The high contract value, the need to cover multiple locations, and the child safeguarding demands would likely rule out most small businesses unless they already have an established record of delivering supervised child contact services at scale.
How to bid
This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
