UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Halton Borough Council commissioned a coaching service for young people who are already not in education, employment or training (NEET), or who are at risk of becoming NEET. The requirement is a guidance and coaching service intended to support this group into more positive education, employment or training outcomes. It is a public service contract for work delivered in the Halton area, including the council’s local community. The buyer is Halton Borough Council, based at the Municipal Building in Widnes. The service falls within guidance services (CPV 85312310) and was arranged as one requirement rather than separate service packages.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It was a below-threshold procedure with the detailed method recorded as unknown, under the light-touch regime. One lot was awarded to WALKER AND WAY LIMITED, a small and medium-sized enterprise. The contract was signed on 17 July 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028. Its gross value is £91,200. The award is active and the contract is active. The successful supplier is responsible for the coaching service for young people who are already or at risk of becoming NEET in Halton.

This requirement is most relevant to organisations that deliver structured coaching, guidance or youth support for young people who are not in education, employment or training, or who face that risk. A credible competitor would need practical experience engaging this group, understanding barriers to participation, and providing consistent one-to-one or structured coaching that supports progression towards education, employment or training. Providers should be able to operate locally in Halton and work effectively with a council as the public-sector customer. The award to a small and medium-sized enterprise indicates that the requirement can be delivered by an organisation of modest scale, rather than only by a large national provider. Relevant youth-services, employability or guidance expertise would be central to competing when this need next reaches the market.
