The brief

This procurement aims to establish an Open Framework Agreement valued at £2.6 million over eight years to deliver targeted youth work services across Nottingham City and Nottinghamshire County.

Spearheaded by the Nottinghamshire Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) and the Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Violence Reduction Partnership (NNVRP), its primary objective is to reduce serious violence by addressing risk factors among children and young people (CYP) through early intervention.

The services will focus on improving mental health, educational engagement, and community resilience, aligning with a public health approach to violence reduction.

The framework comprises four distinct lots with specific requirements.

Lots 1 and 2 cover Detached Youth Work in community hotspots (City and County respectively), requiring teams to deliver weekly sessions.

Lots 3 and 4 involve School and Community Navigator Programmes (City and County), providing one-to-one mentoring for 10-17-year-olds at risk of school exclusion, with each young person receiving 8-20 tailored sessions across designated schools.

All staff must hold enhanced DBS checks, and each team or service must include at least one practitioner qualified to JNC Level 2 Youth Work standard or equivalent.

Services must adopt trauma-informed, Child First, and gender-responsive approaches, integrating the Signs of Safety framework.

Services commence in October 2025, supported by a £1,000 per lot setup fee for mobilisation.

Ongoing requirements include weekly monitoring of outputs (e.g., sessions delivered, safeguarding referrals, CYP engagement) and outcomes (e.g., improved school attendance), submission of anonymised case studies, and active collaboration with schools, police, and local authorities.
