This open procurement method falls within the health and social work services sector, with a total contract value of £310,000. The contract period is from 1st April 2021 to 31st March 2024, following an active award date of 25th February 2021. The tender process was published on 17th December 2020, with a delivery location in the South West region of the United Kingdom. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in social services, particularly those that specialise in youth engagement, social work, and community outreach. SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are especially well-positioned to compete, as the contract explicitly encourages their participation. Providers capable of delivering robust advocacy or support services for young people will be able to leverage this opportunity, helping to shape local policies and ensure that children’s voices are heard in their communities. ## Notice The service aims to promote the participation of children and young people, particularly those most vulnerable (*as defined by the Children Act 2004), in Bath and North East Somerset (B&NES) in order to ensure their voices are heard and responded to, and to encourage their active involvement in decision-making, service delivery and strategic development. The contract will consist of 2 parts: Part A There are currently over 180 children and young people in care in B&NES. There is statutory responsibility for B&NES to ensure that those children and young people have an opportunity to have their voices heard, and to be supported to engage with services to make changes. This service will ensure that children and young people have an independent voice. Part B This service will also support a wider group of young people ,collectively known as The Youth Forum to also have their voice heard, and influence local policy , strategy and decision making. It will also support the Member of Youth Parliament to undertake their duties with guidance from the British Youth Council (BYC). ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1efbd1a1-3cad-463f-8914-811a2516c2d5 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 5 Mar 2021 | | Submission deadline | 17 Dec 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 25 Feb 2021 | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2021 - 31 Mar 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £310,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £310,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | BATH AND NORTH EAST SOMERSET COUNCIL | | Locality | BATH | | Post town | Bath | | Postcode | BA1 5AW | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK5 West of England | | ITL 3 | TLK52 Bath & North East Somerset and South Gloucestershire | | Local authority | Bath and North East Somerset | | Electoral ward | Kingsmead | | Westminster constituency | Bath | | Delivery location | TLK South West (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | OFF THE RECORD BATH AND NE SOMERSET | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 5 Mar 2021 at 13:45 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1efbd1a1-3cad-463f-8914-811a2516c2d5 - 17 Dec 2020 at 11:56 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2050ed0e-d22e-464b-ac4c-366aab11267f ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1efbd1a1-3cad-463f-8914-811a2516c2d5 5th March 2021 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2050ed0e-d22e-464b-ac4c-366aab11267f 17th December 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=10be2dda-5240-eb11-8106-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.bathnes.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
