UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Northamptonshire, acting for the Northamptonshire Serious Violence Prevention Partnership, commissioned funded services to prevent serious violence across Northamptonshire. The requirement covers primary-prevention interventions aligned with a public-health approach and projects addressing six crime types set out in the funding documentation. Services include guidance and counselling, youth education and welfare, rehabilitation, and recreational or community-based provision. Delivery is in Northamptonshire, with recorded delivery in Northampton and the wider county. The partnership brings together youth justice and probation, health, local authorities, police and fire services, so the work sits within a cross-agency response to violence and its causes.

The procurement is complete and contracts were awarded following an open, below-threshold competition. Five awards were made on 8 September 2026: Free 2 Talk Community Interest Company, £94,280; Delapre Abbey Preservation Trust, £49,112.56; Athletic Elite Ltd, £120,000; The Compound Wellingborough CIC, £63,299; and Northampton Saints Foundation, £50,000. The contracts run from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027, with optional 12-month extensions subject to funding and performance review; the stated maximum period is to 30 September 2030. The tender closed on 26 June 2026, following an enquiry deadline of 12 June 2026. There was one lot, suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Bids were assessed against criteria in the application instructions and grant documentation.

This award shows demand for practical, locally delivered violence-prevention services across Northamptonshire, including counselling and guidance and interventions for young people and communities. Competitors would need a credible primary-prevention project tied to the specified serious-violence risks and the six crime types, rather than a general support offer. The buyer’s outcome measures indicate the expected focus: reducing offending and victimisation, knife-related violence and associated hospital admissions; improving young people’s attendance, behaviour, attainment, employability, health and wellbeing; and helping communities feel safer. Providers should be able to demonstrate how their work contributes to these measurable outcomes and deliver in partnership with the county’s justice, health, local government, police and fire bodies. The awards were split among five providers, including community-interest and charitable organisations, showing a market for distinct projects as well as larger delivery capacity.
