Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Croydon procured youth outreach services, including support relating to violence against women and girls, across three Croydon communities. The work covers separate projects for Thornton Heath, South Norwood and New Addington. Services are intended for young people and include community-based support, welfare provision, guidance, counselling, youth education and wider social work. The procurement falls within community, health and social care services, with CPV code 85311300 for welfare services for children and young people. Delivery is in Croydon, within the London Borough of Croydon. The requirement was divided into three projects so that providers could deliver outreach in a specific local area. Each project represents a distinct service requirement for the council and its local communities.

This completed below-threshold open competition was awarded on 21 August 2026. Three awards were made, with one supplier selected for each lot. Be Inspired Youth & Community CIC was awarded the Thornton Heath lot for £57,500 excluding VAT (£69,000 including VAT). Reaching Hire was awarded the South Norwood lot for £56,750 excluding VAT (£69,000 including VAT). Play Place Innov C8 CIC was awarded the New Addington lot for £56,750 excluding VAT (£69,000 including VAT). Each contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028. The council may extend each project by discretion to up to two years from its commencement date, with a maximum extent date of 31 August 2028 recorded for the lots. Award criteria were set out in the tender documents.

This award shows established demand from Croydon for locally delivered youth outreach combining violence-against-women-and-girls support, counselling, welfare, youth education and community action. Suppliers competing for a future requirement would need credible experience working with young people in targeted neighbourhood settings, understanding safeguarding and related social-work responsibilities, and the ability to provide practical guidance and counselling. Strong local relationships and knowledge of Thornton Heath, South Norwood or New Addington would be relevant to delivering area-based services. The procurement also demonstrates that the council can divide the requirement into separate community projects and appoint different providers, allowing organisations with focused local capacity to compete for a single area rather than the whole service. A credible provider would therefore need demonstrable community reach, suitable qualified staff and reliable delivery arrangements.
