Summary of the contracting process

Newcastle City Council commissioned an early intervention, prevention and support sexual health service for young people aged 11 to 25 in Newcastle. The service focuses on education, early intervention and practical support to improve sexual health outcomes for children and young people, in line with local public health priorities and their needs. It is a community and public health service, including miscellaneous and administrative healthcare activities. Delivery is in Newcastle upon Tyne. The council is the public authority buyer. The requirement is aimed at providers able to design and deliver accessible sexual health education, prevention and support for young people, working within local priorities and the needs of the target age group.

The procurement is complete and was awarded following a below-threshold open competition under the light-touch services regime. There was one lot. The tender submission deadline was 24 April 2026 at 12 noon. The contract was awarded to Brook Young People on 30 July 2026 and signed on that date. Its value is £431,610 excluding VAT, or £517,932 including VAT. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028, with a possible extension to 31 December 2028. Renewal is permitted, described as one four-month renewal. The award criteria are set out in the invitation to tender documents. Electronic submission was allowed, and the procurement was below the applicable threshold.

This award indicates established local demand for specialist youth sexual health provision combining prevention, education, early intervention and support. A credible future competitor would need experience delivering services to 11-to-25-year-olds, strong safeguarding and confidentiality arrangements, and the ability to engage young people through accessible, age-appropriate approaches. Relevant capability includes sexual health education, prevention work, advice, signposting and support, with appropriate clinical, public health or community-health expertise. Providers should be able to demonstrate outcomes that improve young people’s sexual health and align delivery with council public health priorities. Partnership working with local services, reliable reporting, effective outreach and capacity to provide consistent provision across Newcastle would strengthen a supplier’s position when this requirement is next tested.
