UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Woodley Town Council in the United Kingdom (UKJ11) is currently in the planning stage for commissioning providers to deliver a variety of youth services and activities as part of their Youth Strategy. This procurement process, initiated on 11th March 2025, aims to enhance youth engagement through regular and irregular activity-led sessions targeting young residents aged 9 to 21, particularly those considered vulnerable or not currently engaged with existing youth provisions. Key milestones include a due date for provider engagement on 1st September 2025. Interested parties can explore opportunities in developing services in regions across the UK, including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, UKK, with services commencing in autumn 2025.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in youth services and activities. Ideal candidates include organisations capable of providing sports, music, arts, workshops, structured trips, and training sessions. Providers who can offer innovative solutions to engage the target demographics on Friday evenings or during school holidays are well-positioned to benefit from this procurement. With £15k allocated for the initial six-month provision in the 2025/26 financial year and plans for a full 12-month service in 2026/27, businesses have the potential to grow their footprint within the youth services sector, leveraging council support, possible provision settings like mobile venues, or using existing facilities. Interested providers should reach out to Woodley Town Council to discuss proposals and opportunities further.
