Angus Council wish to procure a family support service for families with children who are resident in Angus and have been referred by the Children and Families Service.  The service has been split into two lots.  Lot 1 Early Intervention and Lot 2 Intensive Family Support.  The services will provide accessible, high quality, home based family support to secure a nurturing environment for children. A full description and scope of the service is detailed in Part 3 - Service Specification.  The service will start 1 November 2025 for a 3 year period to 31 October 2028 with an option to extend for a further 2 years.  The estimated value provided is for both lots over the 5 year contract term.  It is anticipated that the Transfer of Undertaking (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 (as amended)(“TUPE”), may apply to this contract. The Council’s preliminary view is entirely without prejudice to the responsibility of Bidders to form their own views on these matters and to take their own independent professional advice.  Full information provided in tender documents - Part 8
