The contract commences on 1 April 2026 and concludes on 31 March 2027, with a total value of £260,000 and no extension options. The procurement method applied was limited, utilising a direct award process without prior competition, given its classification as falling outside the standard regulations.

Organisations that have experience in working with young people and delivering innovative programmes in arts and sports are well-suited to compete actively in such procurement processes.
