Summary of the contracting process

Somerset Council, acting as the buying organisation, has completed a procurement process titled "Hospital Youth Worker" under the services category, with a focus on health and social work services. The procurement covered locations within the region designated as UKK23 in the United Kingdom. This process was part of the Serious Violence Reduction Program Grant, running from July 2026 to March 2027. The procurement method employed was direct and below the threshold, proceeding without competition. The contract was awarded to TURNING POINT (SERVICES) LIMITED, with key contractual dates including a start date of 1st April 2026 and an end date of 31st March 2027, for a total contract value of £60,000.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses involved in health and social work services, particularly those capable of delivering youth-focused programmes within a hospital setting. Organisations experienced in supporting community and social welfare initiatives may find this type of contract beneficial for growth. Although this specific contract has been awarded, similar future opportunities can still provide a means for large-scale service providers, particularly those with an established foothold in the social services industry, to expand and enhance their service offerings through such government partnerships.
