Summary of the contracting process

Somerset Council commissioned Early Intervention Sports Mentoring services in Somerset. The requirement is for short-term interventions using sport and related activities to divert young people away from anti-social behaviour and associated risks. The work is classified as sports-event organisation services (CPV 92622000) and is intended for delivery in the Somerset area. The council is the buying organisation and the service falls within the public-sector services category. This opportunity is relevant to organisations that design and deliver targeted youth interventions, particularly where sporting activity is used as a practical engagement, diversion and early-support tool for young people exposed to behavioural or social risks.

The procurement is complete and one supplier was selected for the single lot. Somerset Council used a below-threshold direct award without competition. The contract was awarded to Somerset Activity and Sports Partnership on 30 June 2026, with an active contract running from 1 July 2026 to 31 December 2026. Its value is £37,569 excluding VAT, or £45,082 including VAT. The selected supplier is a Somerset-based organisation. The published outcome records the service category and the awarded supplier, but does not set out a scored evaluation basis. This was a direct award rather than an open tender, so the process did not involve competing bids for this contract.

This award demonstrates demand from Somerset Council for focused, short-term sports mentoring as an early-intervention response to anti-social behaviour and related risks among young people. Competitors would need credible experience combining sports or physical activity with youth engagement, diversion and behaviour-focused support, rather than offering sports-event delivery alone. A strong provider would be able to plan and deliver interventions for young people, work with public-sector stakeholders and demonstrate how activities reduce exposure to risky or anti-social behaviour. The incumbent is a Somerset-based SME and voluntary, community or social enterprise, indicating that a locally rooted organisation with community delivery capability can meet this type of requirement. Relevant providers should monitor this buyer's future need for comparable targeted youth services.
