    Brief

    The City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council is seeking market engagement to develop a Community Early Language Service supporting children aged 0-5 years and their families across Bradford District. This service will improve speech, language and communication development, increase school readiness, and reduce inequalities in outcomes. Bradford faces significant challenges with approximately 7,000 children born annually, 59% living in the most deprived areas nationally, and only 62% achieving a Good Level of Development by age five. Additionally, around 50% of residents speak a language other than English at home. The Council is considering a three-lot service model: Lot 1 focuses on universal community outreach, early identification, and parent support; Lot 2 delivers targeted evidence-based interventions for children with identified needs; and Lot 3 provides workforce development and training for early years practitioners. This innovative, evidence-informed, and culturally responsive service is part of Bradford's Best Start Local Plan 2026-2029 and the wider Talking Bradford speech, language and communication pathway. A virtual market engagement event will be held on Friday 7 August 2026 from 2:00pm to 3:00pm via Microsoft Teams. Interested providers must register through the YORtender/EU Supply e-tendering platform and provide a valid email address to receive the meeting invitation.
