2526-0015 Bright Start Outreach

Description

Update – June 2025: Following the engagement session, we are now inviting organisations to express interest in forming or joining a consortium to deliver this service collaboratively. Interested providers are encouraged to complete a short questionnaire by 30 June 2025, indicating their openness to partnership and outlining their strengths and areas of expertise. Please refer to the attached Q&A document and consortium questionnaire for further details. _______________________________________________________________________________ The service will be aimed at supporting parents and families from the global majority in accessing both universal and targeted early years and family services within Islington's Bright Start offer for families and children from conception to age 5. The service will focus on promoting culturally responsive support through trusted community and cultural networks. The provider will be expected to signpost parents and families to relevant services, ensuring they are aware of and can access the support available to them. The specific communities to be targeted will be determined based on data and market engagement, which may include Somali, Bengali, Turkish, Kurdish, Latin American, Black Caribbean, Eritrean, and other groups. This Expression of Interest event is linked to the related UK2 Preliminary Market Engagement Notice (GB-PPON-PBMD-2513-CWJJ) and the Engagement Session on Tuesday 3 June 2025.
