UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Haringey commissioned Full Potential Training, Employment, Support and Brokerage, a specialist employment support service for young people with complex needs. The programme focuses particularly on young people with experience of care and combines training, employment support and brokerage. Haringey Works, the council’s in-house employment support service, has been delivering the wider specialist provision, with most of the service delivered by an external specialist partner. The work is delivered for Haringey in London and is classified as a training service. It is relevant to organisations providing tailored employability, vocational training, employment advice, progression support and brokerage for care-experienced young people or others facing complex barriers to work.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. DRIVE FORWARD FOUNDATION was selected as the supplier for the single lot. The award is active and the contract was signed on 11 August 2026. The contract runs from 11 August 2026 to 30 April 2027. Its value is £60,000 excluding VAT and £72,000 including VAT. The published outcome identifies the requirement as a services procurement and the supplier as a small or medium-sized organisation. The award information does not set out a competitive evaluation exercise; the route used was a direct award without competition under the below-threshold procedure.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Haringey for a specialist partner able to support young people with complex needs, particularly those with experience of care, into training and employment. A credible future competitor would need practical expertise in tailored employability support, vocational training, employment brokerage and sustained engagement with young people facing barriers to work. Experience of working alongside a council employment service and coordinating with relevant employers, training providers and support organisations would be commercially relevant. The awarded supplier is a small or medium-sized organisation, indicating that this type of specialist provision can be delivered by a focused provider rather than only by a large national contractor. Relevant organisations should be able to evidence specialist delivery capability and partnership working.
