## Summary

The Gloucestershire County Council has awarded a contract for the Integrated Youth Support Service 2023-2024. This service provides support to vulnerable young people in Gloucestershire in areas such as youth offending and crime prevention, homelessness, and substance misuse treatment. The contract extension is valued at approximately £4,716,000 and aims to address national developments in youth justice support, necessitating additional services. The Council decided to extend the contract with the incumbent provider, Prospect Services Limited, based on Regulation 72(1)(b) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

This procurement process, which is now in the award stage, presents opportunities for businesses in the health and social work services sector. Companies specialising in youth support services could find this tender particularly relevant. The limited procurement method was used, with an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The location of the service is in the UK (region UKK13), targeting suppliers who can deliver services in that area during the contract period from 1st July 2023 to 30th June 2024. The total value after the modification is £58,753,000, with the Council aiming to integrate youth justice within wider support systems, providing a comprehensive solution for vulnerable youth in the region.

### Procurement Information

The Council is proposing to enter into this contract extension with the incumbent provider following a period of 10 days from the date of publication of this notice in reliance upon Regulation 72(1)(b) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. This is on the basis that the incumbent provider is required to deliver additional services that have become necessary and where a change of provider cannot be made for economic or technical reasons, would cause significant inconvenience or a substantial duplication of costs for the Council. The increase in contract price does not exceed 50% of the original contract value. The original contract value was approximately PS42,000,000 and the estimated value of the contract extension is PS4,716,000. The reasons for this extension more specifically relate to external and national developments in youth justice support performance and practice expectations and recent policy developments towards a greater integration of youth justice within the wider early help, safeguarding and family support system. These developments are set to impact significantly on the operational landscape for any new provider of youth support services. The Council, together with its local partners, need sufficient time to conduct the necessary engagement, reviews and planning to feed into the core and wider requirements for youth support services moving forward under the new contract in light of these developments Total contract value before the modification described in this section: Value excluding VAT: PS54,037,000 Total contract value after the modifications Value excluding VAT: PS58,753,000
