## Summary

Worcestershire County Council commissioned mentoring for children and young people. The service provides personal support, encouragement and inspiration, usually through a one-to-one voluntary relationship between a mentor and a child or young person. It is a guidance and counselling service, delivered in Worcestershire, with the council as the buyer. The procurement was arranged as one lot and the awarded service is classified as a service rather than goods or works.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Redgate Sports (Worcester) was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 1 September 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. Its value is £37,800 excluding VAT and £45,360 including VAT. The procurement was conducted below the relevant threshold; no further procedure detail is recorded. The source states that the work is a light-touch service, but gives no evaluation criteria or separate scoring basis.

For a future requirement from Worcestershire County Council, a credible competitor would need to deliver one-to-one mentoring that offers personal support, encouragement and inspiration to children and young people. The award indicates demand for a locally delivered guidance and counselling service, rather than a general sports provision: the successful supplier was Redgate Sports (Worcester), based in Worcester. Suppliers should therefore be able to provide suitable mentors and organise voluntary mentor–mentee relationships for young people in the area. The recorded requirement provides a useful benchmark for organisations with experience in mentoring or counselling services for children and young people and the capacity to deliver this work for a county council.
