## Summary

Gloucestershire County Council has announced the award for their "Integrated Youth Support Services" contract under an open procedure. This service aims to provide comprehensive support for at-risk youth in Gloucestershire, focusing on addressing disadvantage and inequality. The awarded suppliers include GGT for Lot 2 covering Gloucester and Forest of Dean, Family Action for Lot 3 covering Stroud and Cotswolds, and The Children's Society for Lot 4 covering Cheltenham and Tewkesbury. The initial contract spans from 1st July 2024 to 30th June 2029, with an option to extend for up to two years. The scope of work includes diverse services encompassing statutory and preventative youth support, and functions related to social work and related services, classified under CPV code 85300000.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for organisations specialising in youth and community services, especially those capable of offering innovative, collaborative, and inclusive approaches. Small-to-Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to engage, given their potential for localised impact and community integration. With the emphasis on creating strong networks between Children and Family Centres and Youth Support Services, businesses skilled in assertive outreach, statutory provision, and preventative services will find this contract especially pertinent to their expertise and mission.

## Notice

The Youth Sector in Gloucestershire is a diverse landscape made-up of a rich and varied range of youth and community organisations, with Council run services, professional youth workers and volunteers. The new Integrated Youth Support Service (IYSS) model seeks to build on and complement this, ensuring at risk young people have somewhere to go, something to do and someone to talk to outside of school. It will focus on addressing disadvantage and inequality by delivering statutory and wider functions, including responsive, detached, assertive outreach, ensuring that our most at risk groups are supported to achieve positive outcomes. The delivery of the Integrated Youth Support Service model will also underpin the incremental development of a Family Hub model for the county. The Council is seeking to provide a high-quality service which is accessible and inclusive for all Children and Young People aged 0-19, and up to 25 years, if they have SEND focusing on those with an EHCP or are a care leaver in Gloucestershire. In recognition of the fact that this is an evolving programme requiring flexibility to maximise the growing working relationships between the Children and Family Centres and the Integrated Youth Support Service, the Authority are looking to work in a more collaborative way to deliver the best outcomes for all Children and Young People. All Providers we use for this new contract must demonstrate their ability to work in inclusive, innovative, and collaborative ways both in terms of developing the integrated approach to the Youth Support Service. The initial contract will be awarded for 5 years from 1st July 2024 to end 30th June 2029 with option to extend of up to 2 years. The contract will be commissioned in four Lots: Lot 1: Specialist Services Lot 2: Gloucester and Forest of Dean Lot 3: Stroud and Cotswolds Lot 4: Cheltenham and Tewkesbury We expect potential providers to meet a number of minimum standards; these are detailed in the ITT.
