## Summary

Fair Oak & Horton Heath Parish Council and Bishopstoke Parish Council are commissioning a community youth service for young people aged 8–19. The service is intended to provide safe, accessible and positive local opportunities that support wellbeing, confidence and participation. It should be flexible, inclusive and rooted in the communities it serves, with delivery focused on the areas set out in the tender requirements. The provider will work with parish and town councils, Local Area Committees, schools and community partners, and adapt as local government arrangements change. Eastleigh Borough Council is running the procurement on behalf of the parish councils. The work is a community and social service, delivered in Bishopstoke, Fair Oak and Horton Heath.

The buyer invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The enquiry deadline was 13 November 2026 at 17:00, and the tender submission deadline was 23 November 2026 at 17:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2029, with an option to extend by up to one year, to 31 March 2030, subject to supplier performance and funding. The stated contract fee for the initial term is £84,000 excluding VAT; the maximum budget is £42,000 per year. The published total estimated value is £126,000 excluding VAT (£151,200 including VAT).

This opportunity suits providers of youth and community services with the capacity to deliver locally across Bishopstoke, Fair Oak and Horton Heath for young people aged 8–19. It is particularly relevant to small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises, which are explicitly considered suitable. Suppliers should be able to offer safe, accessible and inclusive activities that support young people’s wellbeing, confidence and positive participation, and shape delivery around local needs. Strong partnership working is important: the service is expected to collaborate with councils, schools, Local Area Committees and other community partners. Providers should also be able to adapt their approach as local government arrangements change. Quality and presentation together account for most of the evaluation, alongside price.
