Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice procured youth support services at HM Young Offender Institution Wetherby in Yorkshire and the Humber. The service covers responsive planned activities for young people in custody, including engagement, learning opportunities, information provision and skills development. Its purpose is to help young people integrate back into society and reduce reoffending. This is a youth education and support service, classified under CPV 80310000. The requirement is for a service provider able to work in a custodial setting and deliver structured support that responds to young people’s needs. It is relevant to organisations providing youth development, education, employability, rehabilitation or related support services, including social enterprises and voluntary and community organisations.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off from the Prison Education Dynamic Purchasing System. The contract was awarded to Kinetic Youth Ltd on 18 August 2026 for £154,966.76 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. The tender submission deadline was 15 June 2026 at 3pm. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award was active at the recorded outcome stage, with one supplier selected for the youth support service at HM YOI Wetherby. The contracting authority and buyer is the Ministry of Justice.

This outcome demonstrates demand from the Ministry of Justice for specialist youth support delivered within a young offender institution. A credible future competitor would need experience engaging young people in custody or other challenging settings, designing and delivering planned learning and development activities, and providing practical information and skills that support rehabilitation and resettlement. Relevant capability includes youth work, education, employability, mentoring, offending-behaviour support or community reintegration, with the ability to tailor provision to individual needs. Suppliers should be able to operate reliably in a secure environment, manage safeguarding and professional boundaries, and evidence outcomes from structured interventions. The procurement was suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that organisations of this type can be relevant when they have the required delivery capacity and expertise.
