Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Cambridgeshire commissioned a Youth Mentoring and Diversion Programme to prevent and reduce serious violence. The work combines youth mentoring and diversion with guidance, counselling, social work and community health services. The programme is intended to support young people through interventions that divert them from serious violence. Delivery covers Cambridgeshire and Peterborough. The contract was awarded to Anglia Ruskin University, a Cambridge-based university, for the single programme. This is a service requirement for organisations able to provide youth-focused mentoring and diversion alongside relevant social support. The buyer is the Cambridgeshire commissioner, while the programme description refers to the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Cambridgeshire and Peterborough.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Anglia Ruskin University. The award date is not stated. The contract was signed on 1 October 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 1 April 2028, with an option to extend by two periods of 12 months, to a maximum end date of 1 April 2030. Its value is £209,775.04 excluding VAT and £251,730.05 including VAT. It was a below-threshold procurement; the method is recorded as unknown. The requirement was arranged as one lot. No evaluation criteria are described in the procurement details.

For suppliers considering similar future work for this buyer, the award demonstrates demand for a youth mentoring and diversion service focused on preventing and reducing serious violence in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough. A credible provider would need to deliver mentoring and diversion for young people, supported by appropriate guidance, counselling, social work or community health capability. The successful provider was Anglia Ruskin University, indicating that a university was able to undertake this programme; the available details do not identify particular accreditations, staffing levels or experience requirements. Suppliers would need to show they can provide a coordinated service across both areas and deliver against the programme’s violence-prevention purpose. The route used was below threshold, with the specific procurement method recorded as unknown.
