Tender description

Empowering Parents Empowering Communities (EPEC) is an international early help parenting programme delivered by trained Parent Group Leaders (PGLs) who are volunteers supported by Parenting Specialist within Sheffield City Councils Parenting Team. The programme helps parents learn a range of positive parenting skills, better understand children's feelings, value effective parent-child communication and build better, more resilient family relationships. Sheffield City Council were part of the second wave of the NESTA/DCMS funded EPEC Scaling Programme (2017-19). The authority became an EPEC hub in 2018 and since this time along with the current provider have successfully trained a minimum of 12 Parent Group Leaders (PGLs) a year. We currently deliver the following programmes: • Being a Parent • Being a Parent Together • Being a Parent to a child with ASD

About the buyer

Sheffield City Council is a local authority for the city of Sheffield, and runs its own procurement function for contracts across the organisation. Tender opportunities are advertised on YORtender, the council's e-tendering portal shared with local authorities across the Yorkshire and Humber region. Contracts above threshold also appear on Find a Tender, with lower-value opportunities listed on Contracts Finder. Framework agreements let the council call off from appointed suppliers without a fresh advertisement. An evaluation panel scores each bid, and the highest-scoring supplier wins the contract. Contract details are then published in the Contract Register within YORtender.

UK local government drives £140bn in annual procurement, led by social protection (£66.6bn) and education (£57.1bn).

Over the past 5 years, most of Sheffield City Council's contract awards have been in business services, construction work and IT services.
