## Summary

The procurement process was initiated by Cornwall Council for the “YFF - Randomised Control Trial - Health and Social Care” project, which falls under the services category in the education and training sector. Based in Truro, United Kingdom, the council sought to engage a supplier through a direct procurement method classified as “below threshold - without competition”. The project is part of the Youth Futures Foundation initiative and primarily targets individuals aged 16-24 who are not in education, employment, or training (NEET). A key milestone was set with the award notice published on 30 July 2026, and the contract period scheduled from 1 September 2026 to 31 December 2027.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for SMEs, particularly those involved in vocational training and health and social care services, to expand their business by engaging in a high-impact government project. While Lot 4 did not initially attract any bids, it offers potential for companies capable of providing one-to-one support and small group activities. The awarded supplier, Urban Biodiversity CIC, indicates that entities with similar capability and experience in education and training services could find comparable opportunities beneficial for business growth, particularly within public sector frameworks.

## Notice
