## Summary

The procurement process, led by Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council, focused on "Preventing and Reducing Violence Against Women and Girls". This initiative aimed at employing a detached youth work model to tackle gender-based violence by empowering young women and educating young men. The awarded contract is in the service category, addressing youth education services in the UKE region of the United Kingdom, with a contract duration from 14th May 2025 to 14th May 2026. The procurement was conducted through a direct method, below the threshold and without competition, under the legal basis of UKPGA 2023/54. The key award date was 19th August 2025, with the contract being signed on 13th May 2025.

This tender creates substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for organisations specialising in youth education and social action campaigns. Businesses with a focus on community development, safety workshops, and crime prevention will find this contract relevant. As the contract was awarded to The Youth Association, a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) with a background in delivering such services, similar organisations stand to benefit should similar opportunities arise in the future. The nature of the procurement method favours businesses that can deliver focused, high-impact services within a defined scope without necessitating competitive bidding, positioning it as an advantageous opportunity for eligible service providers.

## Notice

The service employs a detached youth work model to address gender-based violence.
