Summary of the contracting process

The Swaythling Housing Society Ltd, trading as Abri, is conducting an open tender for its 'Youth Engagement Programme'. This initiative seeks to provide high-quality youth engagement services across its South, South-East, South-West regions, and potentially London. The procurement falls under the services category with a focus on youth education, community, and social services. With a total estimated value of £240,000, the tender invites submissions up until 17 May 2026. The programme will commence on 1 July 2026 and is planned to run until 30 June 2029, with the possibility of a 24-month extension. The tender process is currently active, reflecting an open competition approach aimed at sub-central government public authorities, and is particularly inclusive of SMEs and VCSEs in designated regions.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in youth education and social services to expand their service offerings and establish strong partnerships with a public authority. Companies that can deliver structured programmes to promote well-being and life skills among young people, and are capable of operating within the regions specified, are especially well-positioned to leverage this opportunity. By engaging in this community-benefiting venture, businesses can not only enhance their portfolios by contributing to societal goals but also gain from the substantial financial backing associated with the programme. The focus on SMEs and VCSEs further broadens the scope for participation from diverse business sectors aiming for growth within the public procurement landscape.
