UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Berkshire Council has completed the procurement process for the provision of youth worker services in schools, under the title "Youth Worker in Schools." This process falls under the industry category of guidance and counselling services and is located in the UK, specifically within the West Berkshire area. The procurement was conducted using a direct method below the threshold, without competition, under light touch regime guidelines. The contract was signed on 11 July 2025, with services set to commence on 1 September 2025 and conclude on 31 August 2026. There is an option for a 1+1-year extension, contingent upon ongoing grant funding from the Children and Families Grant.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialized in youth mentoring and guidance, specifically those experienced in working within educational environments. As the contract involves providing one-on-one support to pupils identified as needing additional assistance, companies with a strong background in pastoral care or similar services could find it particularly advantageous. The awarded supplier, BERKSHIRE YOUTH LTD, a small and medium enterprise (SME) and a voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE), illustrates the potential for other SMEs and those in the not-for-profit sector to thrive in similar contracts, leveraging their niche expertise in youth work and community support.
