UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police & Crime Commissioner for Merseyside and the Chief Constable for Merseyside commissioned services under the Toxteth El8te CIC VRP programme. The work targets young people aged 5 to 25 across Liverpool and Merseyside, particularly those vulnerable to exploitation, disengagement and criminal involvement. It is a social work and related services requirement, including activity delivered across England. The procurement is relevant to organisations providing youth support, violence-reduction, safeguarding, outreach or related social services for young people. The intended beneficiaries are children and young adults rather than a general population, with the focus on prevention and support for people at risk of exploitation or involvement in crime. The buyer is a sub-central public authority based at Merseyside Police Headquarters in Liverpool.

This procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded directly without competition under the below-threshold procedure. There was one completed lot. TOXTETH EL8TE CIC was awarded the contract on 1 April 2026. The contract was signed on 1 April 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £30,000 excluding VAT and £36,000 including VAT. The contract is active. The award covers social work and related services for the programme, with delivery addresses recorded across England. The contracting process used a direct award route rather than an open or competitive tender, so there was no competitive evaluation of submitted bids for this opportunity. The procurement’s stated legal basis is the Procurement Act 2023.

This award shows that Merseyside policing bodies purchase targeted youth and violence-reduction support for 5-to-25-year-olds, with a particular interest in people vulnerable to exploitation, disengagement and criminal involvement. Suppliers considering similar work for this buyer would need credible capability in youth engagement and social support, and the ability to work with vulnerable young people in Liverpool and Merseyside. Relevant organisations may include community interest companies, voluntary and social enterprises, youth services, safeguarding providers and specialist outreach teams. The selected supplier is a community interest company, indicating that a strong community-based delivery model is relevant to this requirement. A competitor would also need sufficient organisational capacity to deliver a public-sector service across the recorded English delivery area, while tailoring activity to local risks and communities.
