Summary of the contracting process

Sunderland City Council has awarded a contract related to the provision of mentoring and social skills support for young people. The contract, titled "Mentoring/Social Skills/Resilience Support for Young People," falls under the "Education and training services" category and aims to deliver in-school mentoring to raise aspirations and provide motivational support to students. This procurement process, conducted via a variation of an existing contract, was initiated on 28th August 2025, with the contract period extending from 29th August 2025 to 27th December 2025. The services will be delivered in the North East region of the United Kingdom, and the contract value for this extension is £24,080.

This tender provides opportunities for businesses involved in the education and training industry, particularly those with experience in mentoring services.

Companies like Commando Joes Fun & Fitness Ltd, the current supplier, exemplify the type of large-scale enterprises that can provide these educational and support services effectively, given their role in this award. The procurement process demonstrates potential for business growth through involvement in publicly funded educational projects, hence presenting an attractive opportunity for firms aiming to expand their service offerings in educational support initiatives.
