Improving outcomes for LGBTQ+ young people aligns closely with the priorities set out in the Young Tower Hamlets Strategy 2025-2027, recognising the need for environments that foster belonging, promote wellbeing and resilience, and actively challenge discrimination. Significant investment has already been directed towards enhancing youth provision, and the Council's ambition to develop ward-level delivery models represents an important step in ensuring that LGBTQ+ young people can access support locally, without barriers or stigma. The commissioned Specialist LGBTQ+ Youth Provision will focus on delivering high-quality centre-based support in wards where specific LGBTQ+ youth services are not currently available. The programme will provide free, accessible, and well-publicised activities for young people aged 11-19 (and up to 25 with SEND), embedding inclusive practice and ensuring that all young people regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, or expression are welcomed and supported. This includes facilitating opportunities for personal development, peer connection, community building, and access to relevant health, wellbeing, and safeguarding support.", "items": [ { "id": "1", "additionalClassifications": [ { "scheme": "CPV", "id": "85000000", "description": "Health and social work services" } ], "deliveryAddresses": [ { "region": "UKI", "country": "GB", "countryName": "United Kingdom" }, { "region": "UKI", "country": "GB", "countryName": "United Kingdom" }, { "region": "UKI", "country": "GB", "countryName": "United Kingdom" }, { "region": "UKI", "country": "GB", "countryName": "United Kingdom" } ], "relatedLot": "1" } ], "value": { "amountGross": 144000, "amount": 120000, "currency": "GBP" }, "mainProcurementCategory": "services", "aboveThreshold": false, "lots": [ { "id": "1", "suitability": { "sme": true, "vcse": true }, "contractPeriod": { "startDate": "2026-09-01T00:00:00+01:00", "endDate": "2028-08-31T23:59:59+01:00", "maxExtentDate": "2030-08-31T23:59:59+01:00" }, "hasRenewal": true, "status": "active", "value": { "amountGross": 144000, "amount": 120000, "currency": "GBP" }, "awardCriteria": { "criteria": [ { "type": "quality", "name": "Quality", "description": "60% - refer to ITT and supporting tender documents", "numbers": [ { "number": 60, "weight": "percentageExact" } ] }, { "type": "price", "name": "Price", "description": "30% - refer to ITT and supporting tender documents", "numbers": [ { "number": 30, "weight": "percentageExact" } ] }, { "type": "quality", "name": "Social Value", "description": "10% - refer to ITT and supporting tender documents", "numbers": [ { "number": 10, "weight": "percentageExact" } ] }, { "type": "quality", "name": "Quality", "description": "60% - refer to ITT and supporting tender documents", "numbers": [ { "number": 60, "weight": "percentageExact" } ] }, { "type": "price", "name": "Price", "description": "30% - refer to ITT and supporting tender documents", "numbers": [ { "number": 30, "weight": "percentageExact" } ] }, { "type": "quality", "name": "Social Value", "description": "10% - refer to ITT and supporting tender documents", "numbers": [ { "number": 10, "weight": "percentageExact" } ] } ] }, "selectionCriteria": { "criteria": [ { "description": "This is a regulated below-threshold procurement conducted in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023.
