UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust has concluded a procurement process with the award of a contract for the provision of specialised emergency department support aimed at children and young people, titled "Youth Worker." The process was carried out as a direct award due to regional speciality service requirements. The contract entails health and social work services within the industry category and is set in Poole, United Kingdom, with the contract period starting on 1st July 2026 and ending on 30th June 2027, with a potential extension for another year. The process reached the award stage, with an upcoming future signature date scheduled for 1st June 2026. The procurement method was direct, under the legal basis of the UK Public General Acts 2023/54.

This award presents a strategic opportunity for businesses specialising in health and social work services, particularly those focused on youth support in emergency settings. The contract's completion by "No Limits," a large scale supplier with VCSE status, highlights the opportunity for organisations that meet social enterprise and SME criteria to collaborate with public authorities like NHS trusts. Entities with specialised capabilities in regional services and those providing targeted support for young people stand to gain significant growth potential due to the requirement for unique expertise and direct award procurement methods in such sectors.
