## Summary

The London Borough of Barking & Dagenham has awarded a contract for a mentoring service aimed at young people aged 11-25 at risk of serious youth violence.

The tender period ended on November 8, 2022, with a contract period starting on April 1, 2023, and ending on March 31, 2025.

This opportunity, suitable for small and voluntary sector enterprises, provides a chance to address the rising levels of gang activity faced by the borough and support young people towards a positive trajectory involving education, training, and employment opportunities. Businesses in the social work services sector would be well-suited to compete for this procurement contract, which aims to safeguard vulnerable youth from criminal activities and facilitate their personal development.

## Notice

The London Borough of Barking & Dagenham (LBBD) requires mentoring services for young people aged 11-25 at risk of gang affiliation, vulnerable to gang exploitation. LBBD continues to experience increasing levels of gang activity and entrants into the criminal justice system. Our aim is to better support young people who may be more susceptible to exploitation and provide them with intensive support to move away from criminal activities and be able to access employment and training opportunities. The mentoring service will provide support to young people aged 11-25 at risk of gang affiliation, vulnerable to gang exploitation who have been referred by the Youth Offending Service. They will link the young people with education, training and employment opportunities. Not all young people learn or develop in the same way, and mentoring provides a tailored approach to help each young person with their individual needs and goals. The Mentors will develop a professional relationship with the mentee so they can offer support and deter these young people from youth violence.
