## Summary

Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Business Growth Company Limited commissioned evaluation consultancy for Year 2 of the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Youth Guarantee Trailblazer programme. The single contract covers designing and carrying out an evaluation that builds on existing learning and reflects the programme’s maturity. Its scope includes assessing change at both programme and wider system level. The work is delivered in the East of England. This is a services requirement for organisations with experience in evaluating programmes and their effects across systems, rather than a purchase of goods or construction work.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Learning and Work Institute. The award date was 24 August 2026, and the contract runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. The awarded value is £280,000. The estimated tender value range was £140,000 to £280,000. This was a selective call-off from a framework agreement, with a single contract. The tender deadline was 20 July 2026. The stated evaluation approach is to design and implement an evaluation for the programme’s second year, building on prior learning and assessing programme-level and system-level change. Small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises were considered suitable to participate.

For a supplier that did not win, this award shows that the buyer commissions substantial, multi-year evaluation work on its Youth Guarantee Trailblazer programme, including analysis of programme-level delivery and wider system change. A credible competitor would need to design a sound evaluation approach, build on existing programme learning, and deliver the research and analysis needed to assess an established programme as it develops. The framework call-off route is relevant to organisations seeking this type of work through an existing framework. The buyer’s stated suitability for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises indicates that smaller and mission-led evaluation specialists can be relevant competitors, provided they can demonstrate the capability and capacity to deliver the full single-contract requirement.
