## Summary

Gloucestershire County Council procured a specialist mental health support service for adolescent asylum seekers and refugees, with the description identifying young Ukrainians as the service users. The requirement falls within health and social work services (CPV 85000000) and is delivered in the South West of England. The buyer is Gloucestershire County Council, based in Gloucester. This is a service contract rather than a goods supply or construction project, suited to organisations providing targeted mental health support for young people affected by displacement, asylum or refugee experiences. The requirement is focused on direct support for a defined vulnerable group, so relevant providers are likely to be specialist mental health, youth support or refugee and asylum services organisations.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Young Gloucestershire, a small voluntary, community and social enterprise organisation. The award date was 23 July 2026. The awarded value is £50,000, and the contract runs from 30 July 2026 to 29 July 2027. The tender submission deadline was 23 July 2026 at 10:00. It used an ‘Other’ procedure described as a pseudo open framework for access to resources for professional services in children’s social care. The award was active when published. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. One supplier received the award; the published information does not set out separate evaluation weightings.

This award demonstrates demand from Gloucestershire County Council for focused mental health support for young displaced people, particularly adolescent asylum seekers, refugees and young Ukrainians. Suppliers that would be credible for a future requirement of this kind would need practical expertise in adolescent mental health, safeguarding and youth support, alongside an understanding of asylum and refugee experiences. Relevant delivery experience with vulnerable young people and the ability to provide specialist support in the South West would be important. The successful organisation is an SME and voluntary, community and social enterprise, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist provider rather than only a large national contractor. Organisations in these sectors can use the award as a benchmark for the buyer’s service need and procurement route.
