UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Lancashire County Council is initiating a planned procurement process for the "Healthy Relationships Education Programme", a comprehensive educational initiative targeting young individuals aged 11-19, and up to 25 for those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The programme is set in the UKD4 region and aims to promote healthy, respectful, and safe relationships within educational settings. The procurement, currently at the planning stage, is scheduled to begin with market engagement due by 13th August 2026, with services anticipated to be delivered from 1st April 2027 to 31st March 2030. This procurement falls under the “services” category with the CPV classification of "Health and social work services" and carries an estimated gross value of £1,260,000.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) specialising in educational outreach, safeguarding, and intervention services. The structured implementation of the programme through universal classroom delivery and targeted small-group interventions makes it an ideal pursuit for businesses adept in content creation geared towards youth education and awareness. Companies with expertise in health and social care services, particularly those familiar with educational frameworks and interventions, could leverage this opportunity to expand their reach and impact in the sector by contributing to this essential early-education initiative.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Healthy Relationships Education Programme

Notice Description

Healthy relationships education is a critical safeguarding and early intervention activity. Adolescence is a formative period in which attitudes, beliefs and behaviours relating to relationships, consent, gender norms, conflict resolution and online conduct are established. Evidence consistently shows that early education can increase knowledge, improve help-seeking behaviour, challenge harmful attitudes and reduce the risk of relationship abuse and exploitation. The proposed programme will be structured around healthy relationships education delivered to children and young people aged 11-19 years, and up to age 25 for young people with SEND where appropriate. The programme combines universal classroom delivery with targeted small-group interventions to promote healthy, respectful and safe relationships.
