UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Borough of Greenwich is currently planning the procurement of NextGen Youth Services as part of the borough's transformative NextGen Greenwich model. This project, within the industry category of social work services, is aimed at enhancing the provision for children and young people in Greenwich, UK, creating a focus on prevention, early intervention, and youth empowerment. The procurement is initiated via the Open Procedure under the UK Procurement Act, and is designed to span a service duration of five years with an extension option up to nine years in total. A market engagement event is scheduled for 26th February 2026 at Woolwich Town Hall, from 1-5 pm, offering potential providers the chance to engage with the council. Key deadlines include registering attendance by 23rd February to ensure participation in this event, and submitting feedback on the draft specification by 1st March for further tender refinement.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for organisations specialising in youth services and related fields. It is particularly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) interested in contributing to the innovative services aimed at supporting young people. There is potential for extension and renewal, offering long-term engagement. Providers can utilise this opportunity for consortium and partnership approaches, fostering collaboration within the borough's larger model focused on community wellness. The upcoming market engagement event is a valuable occasion to network, clarify expectations, and strengthen connections, aiding providers in preparing competitive bids for the forthcoming tender process. This initiative will allow contributing businesses to play a crucial role in improving youth outcomes within Greenwich.
