Summary of the contracting process

The Police & Crime Commissioner for Merseyside and the Chief Constable for Merseyside commissioned whole-family, evidence-based therapeutic interventions for the Merseyside Violence Reduction Partnership’s transition year. The requirement is for social work and related services, supporting families through therapeutic provision rather than supplying goods or construction. Delivery covers locations across England, while the buying organisation is based at Merseyside Police Headquarters in Liverpool. The service is intended to maintain an established and critical programme, with continuity for the people and families already using it. Businesses operating in family support, therapeutic intervention, social work, violence reduction or related specialist services would find the subject matter relevant, particularly where they can provide evidence-led provision at a substantial public-service scale.

The procurement is complete and was directly awarded under the stated legal basis to Young Persons Advisory Service, a voluntary, community and social enterprise. The award is for one lot and has a gross value of £341,640 including any applicable taxes, in GBP. The award record is dated 17 July 2026, and the contract period runs from 17 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. The direct-award rationale is continuity of an established critical service. The authority states that, subject to funding, it intends to run a competitive tender for future provision in the 2027 financial year. The awarded service is above the relevant threshold; no separate evaluation criteria are recorded.

This outcome demonstrates demand for whole-family, evidence-based therapeutic intervention delivered as a structured public service linked to violence reduction. A credible future competitor would need specialist capability in therapeutic and family support work, social work or closely related services, together with a demonstrable evidence base and experience of delivering interventions across multiple locations. Continuity is important: the successful provider was selected because it already delivers the critical service, so competing organisations would need to show that they can protect service quality, maintain relationships with families and partner agencies, and manage transition without disruption. The buyer’s use of a direct award for this transition year also signals that future competition is likely to test both clinical or practice expertise and operational capacity.
