Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Southwark procured community and youth services for the Blue Youth and Community Centre at 192 Southwark Park Road, London, SE1 5BW. The provider is expected to take on the building lease and operate a safe, welcoming community facility for local residents. Services include creative activities, trusted adult support, food provision and direct youth work for young people aged 11 to 19, or up to 25 for those with special educational needs and disabilities. The requirement is classified as other community, social and personal services (CPV 98000000). The work is focused on running a youth-oriented building and delivering regular sessions that support the physical and emotional wellbeing of the local community.

This below-threshold open competition has been completed and awarded. One lot was evaluated through compliance, suitability, quality and social value stages: compliance and suitability were pass/fail, while quality carried 85% and social value 15% of the scored evaluation. The submission deadline was 5 June 2025 at 17:00. Spring Community Hub was awarded the contract, with a gross estimated lot value of £179,310. The signed contract value is £149,425. The contract was signed on 17 November 2025 and runs from 18 November 2025 to 31 March 2031. The contract is active and covers the delivery of the Blue Youth and Community Centre. Electronic submission was allowed.

This procurement shows Southwark’s demand for an organisation capable of managing a youth and community building while delivering consistent, direct services to young people. A credible future competitor would need practical experience running youth-focused premises, safeguarding-aware staff and the ability to provide trusted adults, creative activities, food provision and a safe space. It would also need capacity to deliver at least three youth work sessions each week, with each session lasting two and a half hours, for 11-to-19-year-olds and young people with special educational needs and disabilities up to age 25. The evaluation places most emphasis on service quality, alongside social value, so bidders would need a strong delivery model and clear community benefits. The opportunity was suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.
