The procurement is classified under community, social, and personal services and is in the planning stage. The tender period will end on 29th November 2019, while the contract is set to commence from 1st April 2020 and last until 31st March 2021. The location for service delivery is within the East of England, UK, and the procurement method employed is an open procedure. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those with a focus on community and social services aimed at LGBTQ youth. Organisations that specialise in providing support and services to vulnerable young people, including those managing their sexuality or gender identity, would be well-positioned to compete. This funding allows potential bidders to develop and implement targeted group work and one-to-one support, fostering a safe environment for LGBTQ youth while addressing their specific needs and challenges. ## Notice A PS15.5k contribution has been given annually from the Youth Support Service (YSS) Youth and Community budget for the LGBT Young Peoples Support Service Contract. This contract comes to an end on the 31st March 2019. The contribution formally made by Public Health will become part of a new contract to support a new Sexual Health prevention Service that it is expected will be delivered by a consortia of professional services. The Youth Support Service would like to provide a 12 month grant 1st April 2020 - 31st March 2021 whilst the Local Authority assesses its combined services contribution for this cohort of vulnerable young people. During the existing contract the YSS contribution has provided PS15.5k for the provision of targeted group work and 1-2-1 support across the County for LGBTQ young people especially those who are vulnerable, experiencing difficulties and need support to address adolescent issues which may include their sexuality or gender identity. LGBTQ young people state that they find it easier to seek information, advice, guidance and support from professionals where their gender/sexuality is freely accepted and not seen as the key issue. Organisations that specialise in LGBTQ youth issues represent a safe go to environment where they can access a trusted adult to explore the issues they are facing. The current contract has existed since 2008 and represents excellent value for money in relation to its achievements with this incredibly vulnerable group of young people. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/216308ba-2936-425a-8e67-99f19705adcf | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 7 Nov 2019 | | Submission deadline | 29 Nov 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2020 - 31 Mar 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £15,500 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LGSS | | Locality | CAMBRIDGE | | Post town | Cambridge | | Postcode | CB3 0AP | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH4 Cambridgeshire and Peterborough | | ITL 3 | TLH42 Cambridgeshire CC | | Local authority | Cambridge | | Electoral ward | Castle | | Westminster constituency | Cambridge | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 98000000 - Other community, social and personal services ## Release History - 7 Nov 2019 at 16:34 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/216308ba-2936-425a-8e67-99f19705adcf - 31 Oct 2019 at 16:03 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d8c0d444-f533-4fd3-af8e-1c3d0d8fa66f ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/216308ba-2936-425a-8e67-99f19705adcf 7th November 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d8c0d444-f533-4fd3-af8e-1c3d0d8fa66f 31st October 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=a92e05e5-f5fb-e911-80fb-005056b64545&p=4d8cb5a5-74dc-e511-810e-000c29c9ba21 Apply on line ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
