Summary of the contracting process

Witchford Parish Council invites tenders for the provision of recreational services for young people aged 10-16, aimed at facilitating their personal and social development. The contract, classified under "Recreational, cultural and sporting services" (CPV 92000000), is valued at approximately £30,000. This open procedure is specifically geared towards SMEs and VCSEs and encompasses the East of England region. The tender was published on 27 February 2025, with a closing date of 24 April 2025. The contract period will start on 1 September 2025 and conclude on 31 July 2027. Potential suppliers need to consider costs for insurance, marketing, travel, and facility hire, as no parish council buildings are available for use.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses with expertise in organising youth activities and services. With an annual budget of around £10,000, operational costs including staffing, volunteer expenses, and consumables are covered, although additional resources will be necessary for transportation and equipment. Ideal candidates for this contract include SMEs and community-focused enterprises capable of creating engaging recreational programmes that complement existing services in the parish and neighbouring areas. This contract not only offers financial remuneration but also the potential for significant community impact and long-term partnerships with local authorities.
