UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice commissioned City in the Community CITC to deliver community work aimed at improving health through football. The stated purpose is to empower healthier lives, with City Youth through football. CITC works across three main pillars; the description identifies Healthy People, which places physical activity and mental wellbeing at the centre of its programmes. The award is classified as probation services, but the available description focuses on community health and youth football rather than setting out operational probation activities. The work is associated with City in the Community, based in Manchester; no delivery location is identified. This is a service requirement from a central government department, delivered by a community organisation with a football-based approach to healthier lives.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The Ministry of Justice selected City in the Community CITC through a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. There was one lot, awarded to CITC. The contract was signed on 15 September 2026 and runs from 15 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £13,733.46 including the stated gross amount. The award is for services classified as probation services. No award criteria or eligibility conditions are set out in the procurement information. The recorded purpose centres on community health and youth football, with physical activity and mental wellbeing as programme priorities; the detailed scope of the services is not further described.

For suppliers considering similar work for the Ministry of Justice, this award demonstrates demand for a small-scale community service connecting football with healthier lives and youth engagement. City in the Community CITC was selected, a large community organisation associated with Manchester City’s football community. A credible competitor would need to show practical experience delivering community programmes through football, with the ability to put physical activity and mental wellbeing at the centre of activities for young people. Evidence of working effectively as a community organisation and delivering the stated health-focused outcomes would be relevant. The award used a direct route without competition, so the published process does not establish competitive scoring or formal qualification requirements. The requirement is described only at a high level; future suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate a clear fit with the buyer’s community-health purpose and football-based delivery model.
