Description
Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council is looking to procure two Community Bereavement Support Services and is holding online pre-market engagement events on Monday 12th January 2026. These engagement events aim to develop a clearer understanding of the market and gather insight into supplier capabilities, innovations, and delivery models for the provision of bereavement support services in Blackburn with Darwen. The sessions will also support providers in understanding procurement requirements and will help inform the development of value-driven service specifications. The engagement events will cover the following separate service areas: 1) Children and Families Bereavement Support Service (Lot 1) 2) Adults' Bereavement Support Service (Lot 2) Each service will be discussed in a separate engagement session. Suppliers are welcome to attend either session or both, depending on their areas of interest, skills, and expertise. BACKGROUND The intended aims of both proposed services would be to provide low level emotional and practical support to those who have been bereaved; reducing stigma, supporting them to grieve, and preventing the escalation of distress by offering early intervention. Both lots will be delivered independently but remain connected to Blackburn with Darwen's wider Public Mental Wellbeing Programme, complementing two existing contracted services already being delivered: (1) Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Training and Engagement (2) Men's Mental Wellbeing Service MEETING INFORMATION The pre-market engagement events will be held ONLINE on Microsoft Teams on Monday 12th January 2026. The times will be as follows: • Children and Families = 11:00-12:00 • Adults = 13:00-14:00 If you would like to attend either or both online meetings, please complete the relevant registration form: • Children and Families = https://forms.office.com/e/qHZ6zhWktN • Adults Bereavement Service = https://forms.office.com/e/1Qz5SJwSKb Once registered, you will be sent a MS Teams invite in advance of the meeting, with joining instructions included.
