Framework
An agreement that sets terms for work the buyer may order later, often from several suppliers. The value shown usually covers the whole agreement, not one job.
Open for bids / closing date
You must submit by the closing date and time, normally through the buyer's own online portal. Late bids are normally refused.
Clarification questions
A deadline for asking the buyer questions about the tender. It is earlier than the closing date.
Conditions of participation
What the buyer asks suppliers to show before they can be considered, such as experience, insurance or accreditations.
Bids are scored on
How the buyer will compare bids, usually a split between price and quality. A 60/40 split in favour of quality means the cheapest bid will not necessarily win.
Lots
A tender can be split into parts. You can often bid for only the lots that suit you.
Area (ITL)
The buyer names an official statistical area for where the work is, not a street address. Check the tender documents for the actual sites.
UK4 and other notice codes
Official codes for the type of notice. A "tender notice" means bids are being invited.

Description

Funding opportunity: Help to grow peer-led parent support in Wokingham Wokingham Borough Council will shortly be looking for an organisation to lead and grow parent-led support across the borough, creating more opportunities for parents to connect and access evidence-based support for parenting. We’re offering £300,000 over an initial three years to deliver Empowering Parents, Empowering Communities (EPEC) – an evidence-based programme that trains parents to become lead facilitators, creating a model of support that is by parents, for parents. The programme will be a key part of Wokingham’s Best Start in Life offer and will complement the developing Family Hub offer, alongside other parent support groups and programmes provided by schools and voluntary and community organisations. Collaboration will be central to this opportunity. The organisation that wins this tender will need to work in close partnership with other services across the Borough, building on what already exists and working together as a community to strengthen support for parents. Find out more about Empowering Parents, Empowering Communities (EPEC). Find out more about Best Start in Life in Wokingham. A virtual and in-person information session will both take place on the 22nd October at 12.30. If your organisation could help us make parent-led support a bigger part of family life in Wokingham, we’d love to hear from you.
