Purpose

Herefordshire Councils Ofsted report
highlighted that some children do not receive the right help at the
right time and that the Early Help offer in Herefordshire is
limited.

To address this Herefordshire Council has commissioned PeopleToo an
external facilitator to assist with a strategic piece of work to
develop, in conjunction with voluntary sector partners, effective
multi-agency early help arrangements in Herefordshire.

PeopleToo have the required relevant experience and are able to
mobilise swiftly, this enables grant funding awarded to be fully
utilised in the timescales required.

Peopletoo’s pricing against other providers listed on the
ESPO framework for this particular lot is considered to demonstrate
good value when considered in conjunction with their capacity to
mobilise in a short timeframe and successfully delivering a local
project on behalf of the council in short timescales.

The ESPO framework has been utilized which is available to the
council to make call offs and award contract, this is considered a
compliant procurement route in line with the councils contract
procedure rules.
