Description

Please note this is a Request For Information and not an invitation to enter a competition. Not responding to the survey published with this notice will not affect or preclude any organisations from bidding in upcoming opportunities. The London Borough of Newham are currently looking at options to develop and refresh their Family Information Service (FIS) and the Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) Local Offer website pages and would like to engage with website providers/ designers through meetings for an opportunity to explore their work. Local Authorities are required by law to provide information, advice and assistance relating to childcare services and beyond, and in Newham, like most Local Authorities, the Council has a Family Information Service which features online and provides information and signposting to services that support families in Newham, including details of local childcare and early years provision in local areas. As required by the SEND Code of Practice, the London Borough of Newham also has a SEND Local Offer available for families with children and young people with SEND. Both the Family Information Service and the SEND Local Offer in Newham feature on the same platform and can be accessed here: Newham Families Advice and Support | Family Information Service The current websites for both the FIS and SEND Local Offer are working well for families, however, working jointly with key partners including families, the London Borough of Newham have put in place an action plan for further improvements and developments during the next refresh of the webpages. This includes making both the FIS and Local Offer more dynamic so that there is increased interaction and engagement with both sites and thereby better utilisation of all pages across the platform. Newham Council would like to invite interested organisations to meetings on a 1:1 basis with the Council in order to: • Help Newham Council understand the interest and appetite for website development in public sector spaces; • Provide organisations the opportunities to show a demo of their recent work; • To understand common features that are increasingly making sites dynamic and engaging for families which will help to inform requirements going forward; • Explore cost models for sites such as the FIS and Local Offer.
