Summary of the contracting process

North Yorkshire Council commissioned community management support for the Get York and North Yorkshire Working Economically Inactive Trailblazer Programme. The service covers two elements: end-to-end management of a community grants programme, including transparent, compliant and efficient delivery, and support for a wage subsidy employment programme. The supplier is also responsible for outreach and coordinating participants into job roles. This is a public-sector employment and community support service, covering administration and provision of services to the community. Delivery is across the United Kingdom, with the procurement associated with North Yorkshire Council in Northallerton. The requirement is suitable for organisations combining programme administration, community engagement and employment support capabilities.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold open competition under the light-touch services regime. It comprised one lot. Better Connect Limited was awarded the contract, which was signed on 22 May 2026. The contract runs from 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2027, with options to extend through two further periods, potentially to 31 May 2029. Its value is £466,170 excluding VAT and £559,404 including VAT. The tender submission deadline was 30 April 2026 at 11:00, following an enquiry deadline of 24 April 2026 at 16:00. Evaluation was based on delivery (30%), planning and mobilisation (20%), monitoring, evaluation and impact measurement (20%), compliance, governance and risk management (20%), and social value (10%).

This award demonstrates demand from North Yorkshire Council for an organisation able to manage community grant funding from end to end while maintaining transparency, compliance, efficiency and quality. A credible competitor for similar work would need practical programme management capability, strong governance and risk-management arrangements, and the ability to monitor, evaluate and measure impact. It would also need effective community outreach and participant coordination, particularly where employment support involves moving people into wage-subsidised job roles. The evaluation placed most weight on delivery, with planning and mobilisation, monitoring and impact, and compliance each carrying substantial weight; social value was also assessed. The opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises.
