Bradford Children & Families Trust publishes Health & Social Care work continuously — 17 notices, roughly one every 24 days. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.
As set out in the notice published on 3 July 2026, Bradford Children and Families Trust (BCFT) has been established as a community interest company limited by guarantee and is wholly owned by Bradford Council.
The Trust provides a long-term, sustainable platform to drive improved performance and deliver high-quality, innovative social care services for children, young people, and families across the Bradford Metropolitan District.
In 2025, the Government announced the Giving Every Child the Best Start in Life programme, building on the previous Family Hubs Start for Life programme.
The strategy highlights the importance of supporting children and families throughout the early years, helping to lay the foundations for future success.
This includes a commitment to ensuring that 75% of children achieve a Good Level of Development (GLD) in the Early Years Foundation Stage Profile assessment by 2028 and begin school ready to learn.
The Best Start Family Hubs and Healthy Babies: Guidance for Local Authorities informs the core funded services that are within the scope of this commissioning activity.
These services will be commissioned across the following two lots: • Lot 1: Parenting Support • Lot 2: Parent-Infant Relationships and Perinatal (Parent-Infant) Mental Health.
Feedback from the market engagement event held on 27 July 2026 has helped inform our approach.
A further Bidders Information Event will be held online as follows: Date: Monday 14 September 2026 Time: 10:30am to 11:30am Format: Microsoft Teams.
To express an interest in attending, please register for the event via the EU Supply portal.
