Summary of the contracting process

University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust commissioned a social prescribing youth worker service, providing localised emotional support. The work is classified as health and social work services. The procurement has one lot. The buyer is based in Poole; the service delivery location is not stated.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold direct award without competition. No Limits (South) was selected for the single lot. The award value is £88,400. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 July 2028, and the award was dated 17 August 2026. The lot was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For suppliers considering comparable future work from this Trust, the award indicates demand for youth-focused social prescribing that provides localised emotional support. Small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises were considered suitable for the lot. A credible provider would therefore need to offer a service aligned with that youth support purpose; the procurement does not state further technical, accreditation, staffing or experience requirements.
