## Summary

Wokingham Borough Council commissioned a behavioural insight and research service covering alcohol, drugs, tobacco, vaping and gambling among secondary school-aged children and young people living in Wokingham Borough. The work combines quantitative and qualitative research to establish the prevalence of these behaviours, understand the factors influencing them and identify opportunities for prevention and early intervention. It includes engagement with diverse groups of young people, including underrepresented and higher-risk populations. Stakeholder engagement may also involve schools, parents and carers, youth services and other relevant professionals. The findings are intended to inform local commissioning, prevention strategies, service development and action to reduce health inequalities. The service falls within health and social work services.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Wokingham Borough Council selected ICE Creates Ltd, an SME, for the single lot. The contract was signed and started on 17 August 2026, runs until 31 March 2027, and is valued at £23,792 excluding VAT (£29,740 including VAT). The award date was 17 August 2026. The procurement was below threshold, using a method recorded as unknown. The published outcome identifies one award to ICE Creates Ltd for the complete requirement. The contract is for services delivered in Wokingham Borough. The procurement title is Youth alcohol, drugs, tobacco, vaping and gambling survey and insights.

This requirement demonstrates demand for providers able to deliver mixed-methods behavioural research involving young people and translate evidence into practical public health insight. A credible competitor for similar work would need experience designing and delivering quantitative and qualitative studies, analysing prevalence and behavioural influences, and producing findings that support prevention, early intervention, commissioning and service development. Capability to engage diverse, underrepresented and higher-risk groups is important, as is sensitivity when researching children and young people. Useful strengths would include established routes to engage schools, parents and carers, youth services and other professionals, together with the ability to identify implications for health inequalities. The award also indicates that an SME can deliver this council requirement.
