Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for West Midlands bought a hospital in-reach and community-based support service for children and young people aged 11 to 25 affected by serious violence or exploitation. The service provides tailored support and advocacy when young people attend emergency departments and are receiving hospital treatment, using that point of contact to offer help at a critical time. In-reach support covers Queen Elizabeth Hospital, the major trauma centre, and Birmingham Heartlands Hospital. Delivery is primarily community-based in Birmingham, with hospital support provided where needed. The service is intended to complement other relevant support received by young people and their families. The work combines youth support with health and social care services.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Oasis Community Partnerships. It was run as a below-threshold open competition, with one lot and participation reserved for small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises in the West Midlands. Bids were evaluated on quality (80%) and price (20%). The tender deadline was 22 June 2026. The award value was £93,177 excluding VAT; the signed contract value is £93,087 excluding VAT. The award record gives no award date. The contract was signed on 20 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 March 2027.

For suppliers considering comparable work for the West Midlands Violence Reduction Partnership, this award shows demand for an integrated, community-based service able to support young people affected by serious violence and exploitation, including in hospital emergency settings. A credible provider would need to offer tailored support and advocacy to people aged 11 to 25, work effectively with hospital teams at Queen Elizabeth Hospital and Birmingham Heartlands Hospital, and connect hospital interventions with ongoing community and family support. The requirement suits organisations able to coordinate with other services rather than operate in isolation. The competition was reserved for West Midlands small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises, and placed substantially greater weight on service quality than price. Oasis Community Partnerships, a large voluntary and community organisation, was selected.
