## Summary

Worcestershire County Council commissioned mentoring services for children and young people. The service provides personal support, encouragement and inspiration, usually through a voluntary one-to-one relationship between a mentor and a child or young person. It falls within guidance and counselling services, including guidance services (CPV 85312300 and 85312310). The requirement is delivered in the United Kingdom for the council’s service users. This is a public-service support requirement rather than a general training, consultancy or facilities contract: relevant providers are organisations able to establish and maintain effective mentoring relationships with children and young people, and to provide appropriate personal support within the council’s local authority context.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Worcestershire County Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under the light-touch regime. One lot was awarded to INSIGHT WELLBEING SERVICES LTD. The contract was signed on 31 July 2026 and runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 August 2027. Its value is £204,000 excluding VAT, or £244,800 including VAT. The resulting contract is active. The published outcome identifies the selected supplier and confirms that this was a single-service mentoring requirement rather than a competitively divided multi-lot procurement. The contracting route indicates that the council appointed a provider directly instead of inviting competing bids for this requirement.

This award is commercially relevant to specialist mentoring and child or young person wellbeing providers, particularly smaller organisations able to deliver structured one-to-one support. A credible future competitor would need experience of recruiting, matching and supporting mentors; working safely with children and young people; and providing reliable encouragement and personal support over sustained relationships. Providers should be able to demonstrate suitable safeguarding, supervision, case management and outcome-monitoring arrangements, although the published procurement does not set out specific accreditations or qualification thresholds. The buyer’s use of a direct, below-threshold route shows a defined local-authority demand for mentoring provision at a substantial service scale. Insight Wellbeing Services Ltd is recorded as an SME supplier, making this relevant to comparable specialist small businesses.
