Original Tender Description

Parents and carers involved in statutory Child Protection processes frequently experience distress, confusion and a lack of meaningful involvement, which can lead to disengagement and poorer outcomes for families and Children / Young People (CYP). As part of Warwickshire County Council's (WCC) participation in Wave 2 of the national Families First for Children Pathfinder Programme (FFCP), there is a requirement to provide a dedicated Parental Representation and Advocacy Service to ensure families are informed, supported and empowered throughout Child Protection processes. This service aims to reduce trauma, stigma and isolation, whilst also building trust and improving engagement. Therefore, resulting in better outcomes for families and CYP. Data from November 2024 to November 2025 highlights the scale of need for this service, with 715 Section 47 (of the Children's Act 1989) enquiries (S47), and 297 Initial Child Protection Conferences (ICPC), held. These involved a combined total of 1807 children.

Tender Quality Score

This tender for parental advocacy services is generally well-structured, with a clear description of need and a reasonable estimated value. However, it lacks detailed evaluation criteria and specific submission requirements, impacting its overall completeness and practicality.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender adheres to basic legal requirements with a specified CPV code and a clear procedure for an open competition below the threshold. Deadlines appear reasonable given the context, and there are no immediate indications of disputes or regulatory non-compliance. The absence of a reveal date is a minor oversight.

Missing reveal date
Clarity80/100

The description of the service need is clear and well-articulated, providing context and data to support the requirement. However, the lack of specified evaluation criteria and detailed submission requirements leaves some ambiguity for potential bidders.

No evaluation criteria specified
Completeness70/100

Key information such as title, reference, organization, estimated value, contract duration, and start date are present. The description is detailed. However, the absence of specific eligibility, technical, financial, and submission requirements, along with no document content available, significantly reduces completeness.

No specific eligibility requirements detailed
No specific technical capability requirements detailed
Fairness85/100

The tender is an open competition, suggesting a fair process. The value is disclosed, and the procedure is clear. However, the lack of specified objective evaluation criteria could be a concern for bidders, and the absence of detailed requirements makes it difficult to assess if the process is fully objective.

Missing evaluation criteria
Practicality65/100

While the contract start date and duration are specified, the lack of information on e-submission, document URLs, and financing details limits practicality. The absence of detailed submission requirements also makes it harder for bidders to prepare their proposals efficiently.

No e-submission specified
No document URL provided
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields such as title, reference, organization, value, and dates are populated logically. There are no reported disputes or suspensions. The dates provided are consistent and do not present any immediate contradictions.

Sustainability50/100
