Engagement process description
Bridgend County Borough Council has recently launched its Family Support Commissioning Strategy 2025-2027, which focusses on driving improvement and investment in early help and edge of care services for children, young people, and families.
We are seeking to collaborate with providers in preparation for an upcoming procurement exercise, on the following key areas of the strategy:
• Parenting support
• Children and young people with neurodiversity, learning disabilities and mental health challenges
We’re keen to hear from providers delivering evidence-based and innovative services to children, young people and their families and understanding the impact and outcomes achieved. Whether your work focuses on parenting support or supporting children with additional needs and their families, we’re eager to learn from what’s proving effective in other areas.
We anticipate that tender opportunities will be advertised in Autumn 2025.
Engagement will take place virtually via Microsoft Teams through one-to-one meetings. Sessions will be available on the following dates, in hourly slots:
• Friday, 8 August 2025 - between 9am and 3pm
• Thursday, 4 September 2025 - between 9am and 4pm
To book a meeting, please contact Cheryl.thomas@bridgend.gov.uk by 1 August 2025, indicating:
• Your preferred date and time (slots will be allocated subject to availability)
• The service area(s) you wish to discuss.
