The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with a pre-market engagement due by 13th March 2026. The Council is set to issue the tender in the upcoming months, with the new service expected to commence on 1st April 2027. This contract, which includes three lots—Universal, Targeted, and Targeted Transition—has a total value of £1,300,000 excluding VAT and £1,560,000 including VAT. The tender is above threshold and will follow the regulations set by the UKPGA 2023/54. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses, particularly SMEs, to participate in enhancing local youth services. Middlesbrough Council is keen to ensure their procurement model supports the active involvement of small to medium enterprises, recognising their pivotal role in successfully delivering the current framework. Businesses involved in health and social work services will find this tender especially relevant and beneficial for growth, as they can contribute to shaping inclusive service models responsive to community needs. Contact Middlesbrough Council for further engagement and explore the tender opportunity to expand your service offerings in this sector. ## Notice Middlesbrough Council currently commissions a Youth Services Contract which covers three lots Universal, Targeted and Targeted Transition. Contract value for lot is; Universal - PS425,000 Ex VAT Targeted - PS525,000 Ex VAT Targeted Transition - PS350,000 Ex VAT ### Planning Information The Council's current Youth Services Framework is coming to an end and as we had in place three different services universal, targeted and targeted transition we want to use the pre-market engagement to seek feedback from a range of stakeholders to understand if this model is still meeting need and fit for purpose. There maybe additional funding but this is not yet confirmed and as such this market engagement will help us also ensure that any extra funding is targeted correctly. We want to ensure that our model does not provide any barriers to the local SME market as they have been pivotal in delivering the current contract which has worked really well. We are aiming to go out to tender in a few months with the aim of the new service starting on the 1st April 2027.
