Youth Healthy Relationships Service

Cardiff Council is procuring the Youth Healthy Relationships Service to support identified children and young people to develop safe and healthy personal relationships, particularly their rights and responsibilities concerning sexual behaviour and relationships. The service must provide advice on safe sexual health, consent, body image, toxic masculinity, misogyny, violence against women and girls, domestic abuse and sexual violence.

It must also support parents and carers who are concerned about their child's relationships as part of a whole-family approach. Delivery will include group work and one-to-one support, with referrals expected predominantly from Children's Social Services, schools, Cardiff Youth Service and the Family Advice, Support & Protection Hub. The official notice records one active lot with a value of £495,000.

Its structured data shows the amount and gross amount as the same figure, so bidders should check the procurement documents for the intended VAT basis. The initial contract period runs from 1 February 2027 to 31 January 2028. Two optional 12-month renewals are stated, and the official maximum extent date is 1 February 2030.

Award criteria are Quality 60%, Price 30% and Community Wellbeing Benefits 10%. Tenders must be submitted by 16 November 2026 at 12:00 GMT. The public notice does not state a separate clarification deadline.

The opportunity is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. No specific professional or care regulator registration requirement is stated in the public notice, so bidders must check the full procurement documents for all selection and compliance conditions. Electronic submission is allowed through the Proactis Supplier Network at the official submission link.

Care Sync advice: create or confirm portal access early, review every procurement document and submit before the stated deadline rather than relying on an aggregator's summary.
