This service, intended for the Hampshire and Isle of Wight regions, is in the tender stage with a current end date for submissions set on 13th July 2026. The procurement method is an open competition, and the value of the contract is approximately £350,000. The service aims to provide targeted support to young individuals by equipping them with skills for entry into the construction industry, with a contract scheduled to start on 1st October 2026 and run until 31st March 2028, with potential extensions up to 2030. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialised in educational services, mentoring, or those within the construction sector, particularly those well-versed in dealing with high-risk youth demographics. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are especially suitable for this opportunity, providing a pathway to contribute to community welfare while expanding their service offerings and footprint. The contract emphasises the quality of bid submissions, focusing on the ability to deliver high-quality, trauma-informed support, thus promoting both social responsibility and business growth potential. ## Notice A contract is required for a construction focused training and mentoring service to increase employability amongst young people aged 16 to 18 who are involved in, or at high risk of involvement in, serious youth violence across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. The service will provide a structured and trauma informed training and mentoring offer that supports young people to prepare for entry into the construction industry. This will include accredited qualifications, industry informed learning and mentoring support focused on training, employment and other factors that may impact a young person's ability to sustain positive outcomes and lead crime free lives. Delivery of the service will be targeted at young people identified through police data and partner intelligence as presenting the highest risk of involvement in serious violence. The approach will combine practical skills development with consistent mentoring and wraparound support to strengthen engagement, build positive routine and increase readiness for employment or further training. The service will work closely with Youth Justice Services, police and other partners to manage risk, support safe participation and ensure that the intervention contributes to wider local priorities to prevent serious violence and improve long term outcomes for young people across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. The service is deliberately targeting young people who are at high risk of being a victim or perpetrator of serious youth violence and the provider must be highly skilled in engaging this high-risk cohort and managing the risks posed. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Renewal: The service shall commence on the 1st October 2026 until 31st March 2028 with the option to extend for a period or periods of up to two years. ### Planning Information Please complete the below short survey: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=eUPeI3qVpkGVhxZdbGtNvV3VipzLeeNIpLznLmvvDU9URVVRWE5DR1c1TFI5VUFXU0s1MThNVENFRi4u ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/059368-2026 | | Notice type | UK4 - Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Below threshold - open competition | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning, Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 24 Jun 2026 | | Submission deadline | 13 Jul 2026 | | Future notice date | 1 Jun 2026 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Sep 2026 - 31 Mar 2028 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £350,000 | | Lots value | £350,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | THE OFFICE OF THE POLICE AND CRIME COMMISSIONER FOR HAMPSHIRE AND THE ISLE OF WIGHT | | Locality | FAREHAM | | Post town | Portsmouth | | Postcode | PO17 5BN | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ3 Hampshire and Isle of Wight | | ITL 3 | TLJ35 South Hampshire | | Local authority | Fareham | | Electoral ward | Uplands & Funtley | | Westminster constituency | Fareham and Waterlooville | | Delivery location | TLJ3 Hampshire and Isle of Wight | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 75 - Administration, defence and social security services - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 75231200 - Services related to the detention or rehabilitation of criminals - 75231240 - Probation services - 85312310 - Guidance services - 85312500 - Rehabilitation services ## Release History - 24 Jun 2026 at 11:13 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/059368-2026 - 24 Jun 2026 at 11:11 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/059363-2026 - 20 May 2026 at 13:46 - Planning - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/046467-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/059368-2026 24th June 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/059363-2026 24th June 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/046467-2026 20th May 2026 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://forms.cloud.microsoft/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=eUPeI3qVpkGVhxZdbGtNvV3VipzLeeNIpLznLmvvDU9URVVRWE5DR1c1TFI5VUFXU0s1MThNVENFRi4u - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/hampshirepolice/aspx/Home - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
