## Summary

North Tyneside Borough Council has concluded the procurement process for the "Direct Award - Grow and Eat Programme," which falls under the services category, specifically focusing on agricultural and environmental training services. The process was administered through a direct procurement method, below the threshold and executed without competition. The tender is set within the North Tyneside region (UKC22) of the United Kingdom, with significant procurement activities documented up to 21st August 2025. The programme mandates a new year of delivery via a Service Level Agreement and is designed to be implemented from 1st October 2025 to 31st August 2026. The award notice was published on the same day, with a future contract signature milestone scheduled for 30th September 2025.

This procurement presents valuable business growth opportunities chiefly for voluntary and community sector enterprises, particularly those experienced in delivering educational or societal impact programmes. The North Tyneside Voluntary Organisations Development Agency (VODA), already involved as a supplier, reflects the suitability and potential for small and medium-sized enterprises with a vested interest in community-oriented services to participate in similar awards. Given the nature of the programme, engaging with and enhancing community agricultural initiatives could provide a platform for skill development, community leadership, and social responsibility. Organisations with capabilities in these areas would be well-suited to compete in this landscape.
