Summary of the contracting process

Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council procured young-person-centred youth work for the North Area of Barnsley. The service is intended to focus on young people and is categorised as health and social work services. Delivery is in Barnsley, in the United Kingdom.

The procurement has been awarded to YMCA Barnsley through a direct award. The award was made on 24 September 2026, with an awarded value of £58,541. The contract period runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2027. The tender’s estimated value was £58,851. The requirement was treated as suitable for voluntary, community and social enterprises, but not for small and medium-sized enterprises. The available procurement details identify a single service requirement and do not set out evaluation criteria beyond the direct award route.

For suppliers considering comparable youth-work services for Barnsley Council, this award demonstrates demand for locally delivered, young-person-centred work in the North Area. A credible competitor would need to show relevant youth-work capability and an approach centred on young people, with the ability to deliver in the specified Barnsley area. The procurement was considered suitable for voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that organisations in this sector may be well placed to provide the service. The awarded supplier was YMCA Barnsley. The published scope does not establish specific qualifications, accreditations, staffing levels or prior experience requirements, so these should not be assumed to be formal conditions of a future requirement.
