This contract aimed to prevent future involvement in serious organised criminal activities. Listed under the health and social work services category, this opportunity was located in the Greater Manchester region.

The contract commenced on 6th October 2025 and is scheduled to conclude on 31st March 2027, with a total gross contract value of £71,999.

This tender offers significant business opportunities for organisations specialising in mentoring or youth services. Particularly, businesses with existing operations in health and social care or those capable of designing impactful community engagement initiatives are well-suited here. Sub-central government bodies, like the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, often seek suppliers that bring evidence-based interventions and robust community ties. The contract's focus on preventing youth involvement in crime resonates well with SMEs, especially those recognised as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) such as STRIDE, indicating the authority's preference for local, impactful providers. Engaging in such contracts not only fosters business growth but also contributes positively to regional community-building efforts.
