Summary of the contracting process

Chorley Council, located in Chorley, UK, has recently completed a procurement process to provide support for young people not in education, employment, or training (NEET). The procurement, facilitated under the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, invited providers to deliver a customised one-on-one service aimed at aiding these young individuals towards their educational and career goals. The contract, valued at £35,420, was awarded to FIRST KICK CIC. The procurement process employed an open, below-threshold competition method. Initially tendered on 15th July 2025, the tender period concluded on 1st August 2025, followed by the contract period starting from 11th August 2025 and ending on 31st March 2026.

This procurement offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in youth education and community services, especially those adept at providing personalised support. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well-suited to compete in similar tenders due to the procurement criteria encouraging SME and VCSE participation. Organisations looking to expand their footprint in the education and training services sector, especially those with experience in youth engagement, can leverage such opportunities to drive business growth and contribute meaningfully to social impact initiatives.
