In plain English

The Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime is buying a London-wide safety service for young people aged 14 to 24 who face the greatest risks. It sits alongside a £30 million youth club programme and provides specialist support where local youth clubs lack the expertise or capacity. The estimated value is £4.3 million excluding VAT, running from March 2027 to March 2029 with an option to extend by up to 12 months.

What the buyer wants

• Deliver specialist, one-to-one or small-group interventions for young people at higher risk of violence, across London • Work in partnership with local youth clubs, boroughs, the NHS, schools and police, and feed into the VRU's outcomes framework • Involve young people, practitioners and communities in designing and reviewing the service

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

The value, the London-wide scope and the need to show a track record of specialist violence prevention work with high-risk young people would likely rule out most small businesses unless they bid as part of a larger consortium.

How to bid

This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
