## Summary

University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust commissioned a social prescribing youth worker service. It is a health and social work service intended for young people, delivered for the Trust. The procurement is arranged as a single lot, with the service treated as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises. This is a specialist people-based service rather than a supply of goods or construction work. The selected provider, No Limits (South), is based in Southampton. The stated scope is the provision of a social prescribing youth worker service; no further description of the activities or delivery locations is included in the published procurement details.

The procurement is complete and the Trust selected No Limits (South) for the single lot. The award is recorded as pending. The procedure was a direct award below the procurement threshold, without competition. The award value is £73,667 excluding VAT (£88,400 including VAT). The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 August 2028, with signature scheduled for 1 October 2026. The procurement description refers to provision from 2026 to 20028, while the contract period gives the specific start and end dates above. No evaluation criteria are stated for the award. The lot was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For suppliers considering comparable future work with University Hospitals Dorset, this award evidences demand for a dedicated youth worker service using a social prescribing approach. A credible provider would need the ability to deliver youth-focused support as a service, and to work within a health and social care context. The selected organisation is a Southampton-based provider, indicating that a specialist organisation outside the Trust itself was chosen. The single-lot structure and stated suitability for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises suggest that the requirement was accessible to smaller and mission-led providers, rather than restricted to large contractors. The direct-award route means this procurement did not test competing bids, so it does not establish comparative technical or price criteria for future suppliers.
