In plain English
Birmingham City Council is setting up a framework of youth service providers to deliver programmes that stop and reduce serious violence among young people. They want organisations to provide prevention education, one-to-one mentoring, community outreach, and specialist support for young people at high risk of violence or exploitation.
What the buyer wants
• Deliver prevention and early intervention activities that educate young people about violence, exploitation and harmful behaviours • Provide structured one-to-one mentoring and small group support tailored to vulnerable young people • Run detached and street-based outreach to engage young people not currently using services • Deliver intensive specialist interventions for young people affected by or at risk of serious violence, gang activity or weapon-related harm

Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
This framework is unlikely to suit traditional tradespeople (builders, electricians, cleaners, plumbers). It requires specialist youth work experience, safeguarding qualifications, and the ability to deliver evidence-based interventions: most small tradespeople will not meet these requirements unless they operate as a youth services charity or training organisation.
How to bid
This is a framework: the buyer picks a set of suppliers now and awards work to them over several years. If you are not on it when it is awarded, you usually cannot win work from it until it is re-tendered, so this is the window to bid.
