UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Youth Service Contract is being tendered by the Martock Parish Council, a sub-central government public authority in the UK, under the legal framework identified as 2023/54. The procurement process currently stands at the tender stage, inviting bids for a youth service provider tasked with supporting young people in the Martock area. The contract, which amounts to a gross value of £168,000 over a three-year period with a possible extension, is set to begin on 1st January 2026 and conclude on 31st December 2028. The contract entails running youth sessions, offering one-to-one support, and collaborating with local schools. Interested businesses must submit enquiries by 5th September 2025, and final proposals are due by 26th September 2025. The procurement method is an open competition, and the opportunity is particularly suited for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) or Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprises (VCSEs).

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in community, social, and personal services, particularly those with a focus on youth engagement and support. The requirement for two open-access evening sessions and additional youth service activities provides an avenue for service providers to demonstrate their expertise in offering comprehensive support to young people. By aligning their service proposals with the Council's objective of reaching underserved youth populations, businesses can secure a strategic partnership that bolsters their portfolio and enhances their role in community development. The competitive tender process seeks a balanced focus on quality and technical merit (70%) alongside pricing (30%), offering a level playing field to well-prepared firms.
