UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Durham County Council, located at Corten House, Dunholme Close, Durham, has completed a procurement process titled "Youth Print", aimed at supporting the local Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS) Youth Work infrastructure. This initiative falls under the "services" industry category and is part of a light-touch regime procurement method, conducted below threshold. The contract, which has been awarded to NE YOUTH LIMITED, commenced on 1 April 2026, with completion slated for 31 March 2027. The procurement process, governed by the legal basis of the UK legislation 2023/54, required the provision of a range of support services, including advice, training, and funding bid aid, in alignment with recommendations from the Local Youth Transformation Programme.

This contract is ripe with opportunities for businesses involved in youth education services and guidance services, particularly those experienced in supporting and mentoring small agencies within the VCS sector. Given the scale and community focus of the project, both large organisations with a commitment to youth development and smaller consultancy firms specialising in training and consortia formation could leverage this procurement to grow their services. The strategic objectives of the contract align with fostering local youth involvement and capacity building, making it a compelling opportunity for businesses seeking to contribute to social value projects within the region.
