## Summary

The Humber Violence Prevention Partnership (HVPP), under The Office of the Police & Crime Commissioner, sought to enhance the understanding of Children Missing Education (CME), Elective Home Education (EHE), and Not in Education, Employment or Training (NEET) cohorts in the Humber region through a tender classified under research consultancy services (CPV 73210000). The procurement process was conducted as an open procedure below the threshold, aimed at supporting a public health approach to violence reduction. The tender, valued at under £28,500, was published on 17th December 2025, with the submission deadline of 12th January 2026. The award notice was published on 11th June 2026, having been successfully awarded to Humber Learning Consortium starting from 22nd January 2026, with a contract end date of 30th April 2026. This initiative focuses on services to be delivered in Yorkshire and the Humber, articulating the critical involvement of children and young people in intervention strategies.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in research consultancy services, particularly those with experience in education, youth services, or similar sectors. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) have been identified as particularly suitable for this opportunity, highlighting the potential for niche providers to contribute significantly to the region’s strategic needs in violence prevention and educational engagement. Companies capable of delivering both quantitative insights and qualitative understanding into the CME, EHE, and NEET cohorts, while echoing the voices of at-risk youth, will be well-positioned to compete for such contracts, thereby facilitating business growth by tapping into a market responsive to socially impactful service offerings.

## Notice

The Humber Violence Prevention Partnership (VPP) is a multi-agency partnership committed to providing an evidence-led, public health approach to reducing serious violence across the region. To do that effectively, children and young people must be at the heart of our work-shaping, informing, and driving the strategies and interventions that affect them. Attendance at school is a known protective factor in relation to serious violence. The prevalence of severe absences, suspensions and exclusions is relatively well understood, with data and analysis included with the HVPP Strategic Needs Assessment (SNA ). In addition, other work in respect of 'Trauma informed practice' and the HU9 pilot has been undertaken in the region to increase attendance in school. The VPP is seeking to increase its understanding of children and young people who are defined as CME, EHE or NEET. This work would combine insight into the prevalence of CME, EHE and NEET cohorts (Quantitative) as well as understanding of their challenges (Qualitative). Furthermore, we are particularly keen to ensure that the voices we hear are representative of those children who are in this cohort, including those who have witnessed or experienced violence or abuse. The Humber Violence Prevention Partnership (HVPP) is seeking bids from suitably experienced organisations to provide a reliable and successful service for the activity described in Section 2 of the attached specification document. The value of this requirement is less than PS28,500. It is essential to observe and comply with the following instructions in the preparation and submission of your response. The HVPP reserves the right to reject a response that does not fully comply with these instructions. Responses must be completed in English and use the template provided in the attached document, saved in Word or PDF format. Your response must be submitted via email to the address at paragraph 1.7 of the document. Receipt of emails will be acknowledged as quickly as possible.
