Youth Services
Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
The Royal Borough of Greenwich has initiated the planning stage for a public procurement process, focusing on the provision of Youth Services. The procurement is particularly targeted at the health and social work services industry within the London area, specifically the UKI51 region. This early stage of the process involves market engagement, allowing potential providers to contribute to the future procurement approach via a soft market testing exercise.
The deadline for this engagement form is set for 19 December 2026. The tender itself falls under the light-touch regime, suitable for projects above a certain financial threshold, and is aimed at establishing service delivery from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2031. This procurement process presents a substantial opportunity for businesses involved in youth services, particularly those capable of offering staffed youth worker services across multiple Community Youth Hub locations.
Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) will find this tender particularly relevant, given its focus on fostering competition and inclusive participation. Potential bidders should possess experience in delivering services for children and young people aged 4-19 or up to 25 with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), with the possibility of forming consortiums or partnerships to broaden service delivery scope and ensure high-quality outcomes. The Royal Borough of Greenwich aims to utilise this engagement to shape a procurement strategy that addresses provider capabilities and preferences, aligning with the broader objectives of supporting young people effectively.
This is an invitation to suitably qualified providers of youth provision to input into the future procurement of Youth Services in Greenwich via soft market testing.
