In plain English
The London Borough of Barking and Dagenham wants a provider to run a Fathers Programme for fathers and male co-parents, from pregnancy until their child is two. It offers support for mild to moderate mental health difficulties, builds parenting skills, and runs peer support groups until the child turns five. The contract is worth £472,500.
What the buyer wants
• Deliver targeted, evidence-informed support for fathers and male co-parents with mild to moderate perinatal mental health difficulties, from pregnancy to the child's second birthday. • Provide parenting support that strengthens father-baby relationships and builds knowledge of child development, using a strengths-based approach. • Run a universal, welcoming offer that acts as a gateway to targeted help, with peer support continuing until the child's fifth birthday.
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: The notice does not state specific qualifications, insurance or turnover thresholds, but the contract requires evidence-informed mental health support delivered over several years and a £472,500 value, which a small business would need to show it can resource and deliver at that scale.
