Summary of the contracting process

University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust commissioned a youth worker service providing localised emotional support. The requirement is classified as health and social work services and is intended to provide support for young people. The procurement has one lot. No Limits (South) and No Limits were selected as suppliers. The Trust is the buyer; the service is associated with the Trust, but the delivery location is not stated in the available procurement details.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded on 1 June 2026 to No Limits (South) and No Limits. The awarded value is £100,800. The contract period runs from 10 October 2026 to 30 June 2027. The Trust used a direct award without competition, below the applicable threshold. The requirement was arranged as one lot, identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The published procurement details do not describe an evaluation basis or specific eligibility tests.

For providers of youth support, this award demonstrates demand from University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust for a youth worker delivering localised emotional support. A credible future competitor would need the practical ability to provide youth work and emotional support suited to a localised service. The award was made directly without competition, so this procurement does not show how competing offers were assessed or what qualifications, accreditations, staffing levels or experience the buyer required. The selected suppliers are No Limits (South) and No Limits, organisations based in Southampton. The single-lot arrangement indicates that the requirement was procured as one service rather than divided into separate packages.
