## Summary

The public procurement process for the "National Adoption Youth Forum" was conducted by Leeds City Council, a sub-central government public authority located at Civic Hall, Calverley Street, Leeds, United Kingdom.

This tender falls under the services category, specifically within research and development consultancy services, indicating a light-touch regime. The contract was awarded to Adoption UK Charity, with a total value of £324,000, effective from 21 October 2025 to 30 September 2026, with an option for a 24-month extension. The procurement method was an open competition, completed below the threshold, and operated within the framework of UK legislation 2023/54. Delivery of services was intended for regions throughout the UK, with key dates in the procurement process including a signed contract on 21 October 2025 and a published contract notice on 5 November 2025.

This procurement offers significant business growth opportunities for businesses specializing in community service programmes and youth engagement initiatives.

Small and medium enterprises with expertise in research, development, and community engagement initiatives, particularly those focusing on youth services, can find this tender aligns well with their capabilities. The opportunity also provides avenues for businesses to form strategic partnerships or consortia to deliver services across multiple UK regions, thereby enhancing their market reach and organisational growth. Although the tender is complete, such opportunities often involve future renewals or expansions, providing potential subsequent opportunities for involvement.
