The contract was awarded to Turn2 Mentoring Ltd, a large-scale supplier located in Bristol, South West England, and close to the region UKK11. This contract falls under the industry category of health and social work services, with a procurement process characterised by direct procurement without competition, aligning with a special 'light touch' regime for below-threshold transactions. This award was signed on 14 November 2025, with the contract actively running from 17 November 2025 and set to conclude by 22 July 2026.
