Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham City Council procured prevention services for children and young people in schools. The requirement sits within health and social work services and covers prevention and early intervention activity delivered in Nottingham. It was a call-off from the council’s framework for domestic and sexual violence and abuse services, including violence against women and girls. The selected provider is Equation, a Nottingham-based small or medium-sized enterprise. The work is therefore relevant to organisations delivering school-based support for children and young people, particularly providers with experience in prevention, early intervention and services connected with domestic or sexual violence and abuse. It may also suit specialist voluntary, community or social enterprises able to deliver sensitive support through schools and work with a local authority.

This procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Nottingham City Council used a limited procedure, making an award without publishing a prior call for competition, as a call-off from its existing framework. The award date was 1 April 2026 and the contract was signed on 1 April 2026. Equation was awarded the contract for £91,500, with the award recorded against the prevention and early intervention services lot. The stated award criterion was price, and one bid was recorded. The procurement was marked complete, while the lot itself was recorded as cancelled; the active award and active contract identify Equation as the selected supplier and the contract as the operative outcome. No contract end date or duration is provided.

This award demonstrates a local-authority requirement for school-based prevention services for children and young people, delivered within the wider domestic and sexual violence and abuse support market. A credible future competitor would need practical experience of prevention and early intervention in schools, safeguarding children and young people, and managing work involving sensitive abuse-related issues. Providers should be able to deliver health and social work services for a council in Nottingham and show that they can work effectively with schools, public-sector commissioners and partner support services. The procurement also indicates that a small or medium-sized specialist provider can win this type of requirement. Organisations seeking comparable work should understand the relevant framework route and be prepared to compete primarily on price.
