Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Leicestershire has awarded a contract for the "Violence Reduction Network: Children and Young Person Navigator Service." The service will be implemented across Leicester, Leicestershire, and Rutland to support children and young people aged 11-25 at risk of violence. Delivered using a competitive flexible procedure, the procurement process recently reached the award stage, with the contract starting on 1st July 2026 for an initial 12 months, including potential extensions for up to 21 additional months. The project's location is the UKF2 region, with a total contract value of £805,000. The procurement method was open, following light-touch regime standards, and focused on social services as the industry category.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses operating in the social services sector, particularly those skilled in mentoring, trauma-informed care, and community outreach. With a focus on supporting young people and integrating services within police custody settings, accident and emergency departments, and community pathways, businesses specialising in these aspects of social services stand a good chance of success. The tender was open to large businesses, although no final stage bids were received from SMEs or VCSEs. The competitive nature of the procurement process, along with an emphasis on quality over price in evaluation, underscores the importance of technical expertise and high-quality service delivery for potential bidders.
