UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, managed by the University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust, pertains to the "Social Prescribing Youth Worker" contract. This initiative focuses on delivering health and social work services, specifically aimed at providing emotional support and crisis intervention to youth, with the goal of reducing future hospital admissions. Located in Poole, United Kingdom, the procurement process is now at the award stage, having employed a direct procurement method without competitive tendering, as it is below the threshold. The contract was awarded to No Limits (South), with a total contract value of £88,400, and is set to commence on 1st September 2026, concluding on 31st July 2028. A future signature date is scheduled for 14th August 2026.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in the health and social care sectors, particularly those experienced in providing youth services. Organisations classified as small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be well-suited to compete in similar contracts. Given the specialised nature of the services and the direct procurement approach, businesses that offer tailored emotional and crisis support services could see growth opportunities in collaborating with public authorities such as the NHS.
