    "description": "This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) intention to award notice under Direct Award Process C. The awarding of this contract is subject to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023.  For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and Procurement Act 2023 do not apply to this award. \nThis contract has not yet formally been awarded; this notice serves as an intention to award under the PSR.\nThe publication of this notice marks the start of the standstill period. Representations by providers must be made by midnight on 3rd July 2025 via email to: corporate.procurement@wolverhampton.gov.uk\nThe Family Hubs and Start for Life programme is jointly managed by the Department for Education and the Department for Health and Social Care. It seeks to join-up and enhance services for families with children of all ages through a network of family hubs, with start for life services for families with 0- to 2-year-olds at their core.\nIn January 2025, \u00a3126 million was announced to continue delivery of a network of family hubs and start for life services. The Grant Funding allows the opportunity for local authorities to consolidate, embed and enhance their family hub network and\nStart for Life services offer. Local authorities are expected to continue delivering all minimum expectations and wider delivery requirements set out in the Programme Guide. The Programme continues to encourage ambition and so, where possible,\nlocal authorities should build on the progress made and seek to strengthen their offer, learning from delivery to date.\nThe process that must be followed when awarding a contract under the direct award process C is set out in Regulations 6(5) and 9.\nTaking into account the key criteria analysis completed as part of the process, the authority is assured that the existing provider is satisfying the original contract and will likely satisfy the proposed contract to a sufficient standard. \nThe Family Hubs programme will enable us to continue to take forward the recommendations in The Best Start for Life (a vision for the 1,001 critical days) report.\nDetails of the award decision-makers: Cabinet, Children\u0027s Leadership Team, Deputy Director Children\u0027s Service, Service Manager - Family Hubs.\nThere were no declared conflicts or potential conflicts of interest.",
