UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Somerset Council procured a hospital youth worker service: delivery of a hospital youth programme supporting requirements under the Serious Violence Reduction Programme Grant. The work falls within health and social work services and is intended for delivery in Somerset. The requirement is focused on youth work in a hospital setting, with the programme linked to public-sector violence-reduction objectives and grant-funded activity. It is a service contract for the council rather than a supply of goods or construction works. Organisations working across hospital-based youth support, violence reduction, youth services, health-related social care or comparable public-service programmes would find the subject matter most relevant. The named buyer is Somerset Council, based at County Hall in Taunton.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Somerset Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, and awarded the single lot to TURNING POINT (SERVICES) LIMITED. The contract was signed on 31 March 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £50,000 excluding VAT and £60,000 including VAT. The award covers health and social work services for the hospital youth programme. The contract is recorded as active. The procurement was evaluated through the council’s direct-award route rather than an open bidding process, so there was no competitive tender stage or published comparison of competing bids.

For suppliers that did not win this procurement, the award provides a clear indication of Somerset Council’s demand for hospital-based youth support connected to serious violence reduction funding. A credible future provider would need practical experience delivering youth services in healthcare settings, supporting young people affected by or at risk of serious violence, and working effectively with clinical, safeguarding, social-care and local-authority partners. The requirement also favours organisations able to deliver grant-supported public services with clear outcomes, reliable staffing and appropriate governance. Experience in health and social work services would be directly relevant. The selected supplier is a large voluntary, community or social enterprise, indicating that both substantial delivery capacity and a strong social-purpose profile may be competitive characteristics for this buyer.
