## Summary

Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority procured careers hub services for Cambridgeshire County Council, East Cambridgeshire District Council and South Cambridgeshire District Council. The service supports the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Careers Hub, which is funded by the Careers and Enterprise Company and forms part of the National Network of Careers Hubs. Its purpose is to help mainstream further education, special educational needs and disabilities, and alternative provision establishments improve how they prepare young people for their next steps. The procurement is classified as research and development and related consultancy services. Delivery covers the United Kingdom, with the requirement focused on establishments and education providers across the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough region.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly without competition as a below-threshold contract. One lot was awarded to FORM THE FUTURE C.I.C. The award is active and the contract was signed on 10 January 2026, with the contract running from 10 January 2026 to 31 August 2027. The contract has a gross value of £342,864 including applicable taxes. The buyer holds an option to extend the arrangement by one year, with the maximum extension date being 31 August 2028. The award date is 10 January 2026. The available record identifies a single service lot and a direct-award route rather than a competitive evaluation process.

This award shows demand from the Combined Authority for a specialist careers and education partner able to operate across a regional network of mainstream further education, special educational needs and disabilities, and alternative provision establishments. A credible future supplier would need practical expertise in careers education, employer engagement and supporting schools and colleges to improve young people’s transitions into further education, training or employment. Experience working across multiple local authority areas, coordinating a broad institutional network and delivering publicly funded programmes would be relevant. The incumbent is a community interest company and small or medium-sized enterprise, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist organisation rather than only by a large corporate provider.
