## Summary

The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea has awarded a contract for the "RBKC Youth Services Framework," a procurement initiative in the youth education services sector, specifically targeting services for young people aged 11 to 19. This framework has been established under the Light Touch Regime, allowing periodic openings for new providers to join as required. The contract, valued at £2,000,000, commenced on 1st September 2019 and is set to conclude on 31st August 2023. The procurement was conducted using an open method, with significant interest from providers in the London region, as the framework includes a mini-competition process for commissioning services. The award was published on 6th August 2019 and concluded the tender process initiated on 15th May 2019.

This opportunity presents a viable avenue for growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector organisations (VCSEs) that offer youth-related services. Businesses involved in education, recreational activities, and community engagement will find this framework highly relevant for expanding their service offerings within the borough. By participating in this framework, qualified providers can build long-term relationships with the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, growing their clientele and enhancing their profiles within the community.

## Notice

The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea has commissioned a "Pseudo" Open Framework Agreement consisting of multiple suitably qualified providers under which it can Call-off (via mini-competition) a range of youth related service for young people aged 11 - 19 (up to 25 for young people with special educational needs or disabilities, SEND) in the borough. The "Pseudo" Open Framework Agreement has been commissioned under the Light Touch Regime (implemented through regulations 74-77 of the Public Contract Regulations 2015). This Framework Agreement differs from those let under the non-light touch regime in that the Council may exercise its flexibility to periodically 'open' the framework for providers to submit applications to join, particularly if it needs to increase capacity or to respond to emerging needs. If the Council decides to open up the "Pseudo" Open Framework Agreement for applications, it will do so on the same terms and conditions and on the same criteria.
