UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority, through its Violence Prevention Partnership, is seeking a provider to design and deliver a leadership development programme for leaders and aspiring leaders in the voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise sector. The programme is intended to strengthen leadership across organisations working with children, young people and communities, and equip participants with specialist knowledge, skills and practical tools for effective, evidence-informed knife crime prevention. The work is in the specialist training services category and is to be delivered in South Yorkshire. The requirement is organised as one lot and is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

The buyer invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The tender deadline was 16 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC, and the deadline for enquiries was 6 November 2026 at 23:59 UTC. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 December 2026 to 31 March 2028, with an option to extend once for 12 months, subject to satisfactory performance and continued funding. The estimated value is £165,000 excluding VAT (£198,000 including VAT). Tenders are assessed on the most advantageous offer: quality carries 80%, social value 10% and price 10%.

This opportunity suits providers able to develop and deliver leadership training for voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise organisations, including those working with children, young people and communities. Suppliers should be able to build participants’ leadership capability and provide specialist knowledge, skills and practical tools for evidence-informed knife crime prevention. The programme’s focus on leaders and aspiring leaders makes experience supporting leadership development in the VCFSE sector particularly relevant, alongside the ability to connect training to community-level violence prevention. The buyer identifies the opportunity as suitable for SMEs and VCFSEs, so smaller and mission-led providers are within the intended supplier pool. Evaluation places substantially greater weight on quality than on price, with social value also assessed.
