The contract, classified under "Recreational, cultural and sporting services" (CPV 92000000), is valued at approximately £30,000. This open procedure is specifically geared towards SMEs and VCSEs and encompasses the East of England region. The tender was published on 27 February 2025, with a closing date of 24 April 2025. The contract period will start on 1 September 2025 and conclude on 31 July 2027. Potential suppliers need to consider costs for insurance, marketing, travel, and facility hire, as no parish council buildings are available for use. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses with expertise in organising youth activities and services. With an annual budget of around £10,000, operational costs including staffing, volunteer expenses, and consumables are covered, although additional resources will be necessary for transportation and equipment. Ideal candidates for this contract include SMEs and community-focused enterprises capable of creating engaging recreational programmes that complement existing services in the parish and neighbouring areas. This contract not only offers financial remuneration but also the potential for significant community impact and long-term partnerships with local authorities. ## Notice Organisations are invited to tender to provide activities and services for young people to enjoy and to help their personal and social development. An annual sum in the region of PS10,000, but not limited to this amount, will be available for the provision of the core work outlined in this document. This is to include staffing, volunteer costs and related insurance, travel, preparation time and marketing. The commissioned organisation will also provide its own transportation, IT and other equipment (including equipment needed for activities, if not already in place within the community) and all consumable materials required to meet the objectives and provide activities and services for young people detailed above. Please note that the parish council has no buildings of its own and the cost of hiring facilities will need to be included within the tender. Provide activities and services for young people aged 10-16 to enjoy and to help their personal and social development. The suggested programme should consider youth activities already on offer in the parish and consider those that are running in neighbouring parishes. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1ddab3b7-574f-4cf3-9b43-6df4513e7fc3 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning, Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 27 Feb 2025 | | Submission deadline | 24 Apr 2025 | | Future notice date | 27 Feb 2025 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Aug 2025 - 31 Jul 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £30,000 | | 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 | WITCHFORD PARISH COUNCIL | | Locality | ELY | | Post town | Cambridge | | Postcode | CB6 3AA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH4 Cambridgeshire and Peterborough | | ITL 3 | TLH42 Cambridgeshire CC | | Local authority | East Cambridgeshire | | Electoral ward | Ely West | | Westminster constituency | Ely and East Cambridgeshire | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 92 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ### Codes - 92000000 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ## Release History - 27 Feb 2025 at 09:24 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1ddab3b7-574f-4cf3-9b43-6df4513e7fc3 - 23 Feb 2025 at 12:02 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6856a4c5-3a72-440e-aa43-5d20dd118272 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1ddab3b7-574f-4cf3-9b43-6df4513e7fc3 27th February 2025 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6856a4c5-3a72-440e-aa43-5d20dd118272 23rd February 2025 - Future opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/c3162b16-4462-4ec4-918c-fadf0c4e4938 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/9fc2dee0-bf13-4eea-b707-47a9e6a46d7d ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
