Summary of the contracting process

Rutland County Council commissioned Foster the Future services for care-experienced young people in Rutland. The service combines mentoring, enrichment opportunities, transition support and social action. It is a public service requirement covering youth education and health and social work services. Delivery is in Rutland, with the council as the commissioning and buying organisation. The requirement is focused on supporting young people with care experience through activities that help them develop, engage with opportunities and manage transitions. The work would suit organisations providing structured youth support, mentoring and community-based enrichment, particularly those able to combine educational, social and practical support around the needs of care-experienced young people.

The procurement has been completed and awarded under one lot. Rutland County Council used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 11 June 2026 and awarded to Leicester City Football Club Trust Limited. The contract value is £31,345 excluding VAT, or £37,614 including VAT. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2028, with a possible one-year extension to 31 July 2029. The award is active and the contract is active. This outcome shows that the council selected a single supplier through a non-competitive below-threshold route for the full Foster the Future service requirement.

This procurement indicates demand from Rutland County Council for a specialist service supporting care-experienced young people through mentoring, enrichment, transition support and social action. A credible future provider would need experience working with young people who have care experience, and the ability to deliver safe, structured and engaging support rather than a single isolated activity. Relevant capability includes mentoring, youth education, transition planning, community engagement and social-work-informed practice. Organisations with established links to sport, education, voluntary and community networks may be well placed to provide enrichment and social action. Providers should also be able to coordinate a joined-up service for the council and demonstrate the capacity to sustain delivery across Rutland.
