Custody Based Youth Work Supporting Young People Aged 18-25
The aim of the Custody-Based Intervention Service is to engage young adults aged 18–25 at a critical point of contact within police custody and provide timely, trauma-informed and relationship-based support that helps them address unmet needs, build resilience and achieve positive outcomes.
Through trusted relationships, practical support and access to appropriate opportunities and services, the programme will support young adults to increase stability, improve mental health and wellbeing, strengthen protective factors and progress towards their individual goals, including education, training and employment where appropriate.
The service will contribute to the Violence Reduction Unit's public health approach to violence reduction by supporting young adults to navigate the transition into adulthood, reduce vulnerability to violence, exploitation and offending, and improve their longer-term life chances.

Heat Pump Ready (Round 2) – Acceleration Support Provider
The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) intends to procure an external provider to deliver Acceleration Support services alongside the Heat Pump Ready (HPR) – Round 2: Innovation Funding Competition (a grant funding programme). This notice is published to inform the market of DESNZ’s intentions and to support preliminary market engagement; it does not constitute a commitment to proceed with a procurement.
The Innovation Funding Competition is an innovation programme providing grant funding to support research and development projects that address key barriers to the deployment of heat pumps, with the aim of supporting innovations to progress towards market entry by 2030.
Acceleration Support will be delivered in parallel with grant‑funded activity by an external provider and is intended to help projects address barriers to market entry that may not be overcome through grant funding alone. The support is expected to cover areas including commercialisation, collaboration, dissemination and social value.
To manage conflicts of interest and ensure fair competition, the appointed Acceleration Support provider, and any organisations involved in delivering these services will not be eligible to apply for, or participate in, the Heat Pump Ready Innovation Funding Competition or future independent evaluation contract

Co-producing & evaluating interventions to support MMRV uptake Somali community
NHS England aims to commission a project with an experienced supplier to co-produce, pilot and evaluate interventions to improve MMRV uptake in Somali communities. The project will look to co-produce and map a minimum of 5 priority interventions with key stakeholders through one-to-one semi-structured interviews, focus groups and workshops.
Working Collaboratively Opportunity – Supporting School Access to Adrenaline Auto-Injectors (AAIs)
Keeping children and young people with allergies safe while in school is a key priority for the Government. Section 34 of the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Act 2026 (www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2026/21/section/34/enacted) places new allergy safety duties on schools. We have published new statutory guidance on Allergy safety in schools (www.gov.uk/government/publications/allergy-safety-in-schools). Currently under the Human Medicines (Amendment) Regulations 2017, schools in England are permitted to purchase “spare” adrenaline auto-injectors (AAIs) without a prescription for emergency use in cases of anaphylaxis. The Government intends to require all schools to stock “spare” AAIs. Further education (FE) colleges and other post‑16 institutions are not included in this exemption. Any extension would require regulatory change, which has not yet been implemented. Suppliers should therefore continue to operate in line with the current legal framework.
This early engagement supports the Department for Education’s (DfE) preparatory work ahead of new statutory guidance, with the aim of ensuring schools can access “spare” adrenaline auto-injectors (AAIs) quickly, reliably and affordably to support pupil safety.
The Department is therefore initiating early market engagement with organisations that supply AAIs, including manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers and other authorised suppliers, to better understand the current market landscape and the options available to support schools in accessing “spare” AAIs.
This engagement will inform consideration of a potential working sponsorship approach, through which the provider market may develop voluntary commercial offers directly to schools in return for a rights package. The intention is to support improved affordability, simplify access, and enhance reliability of supply, while maintaining schools’ independence in purchasing decisions.
To inform this approach, the Department is seeking insight into existing routes to market through which schools purchase AAIs, as well as the practical and operational considerations faced by suppliers, delivery models, and any relevant regulatory factors. This includes understanding potential risks or constraints associated with scaling supply at a national level.
The Department intends to hold a market engagement webinar via Microsoft Teams on Tuesday 11 August at 11:30 – 12:0 to provide further context on this initiative. Following this webinar, the Department intends to hold 1-to-1 discussions with interested organisations, to support a more detailed exploration of market capability and gather more detailed insight.
To register your interest in attending this event and/or the 121 discussions, please email [email protected] before 12:0 on Monday 10 August.
Please note that this notice is for early market engagement and exploratory purposes and is not a call for competition. The Department reserves the right not to enter any formal processes or agreements. Accordingly, the Department will not be liable for any cost, expenditure, work, or effort incurred by a provider in acting based on this notice.

Supported Accommodation Approved Lists
During the summer 2025, the Council completed a market engagement exercise to assess the level of interest in the delivery of supported accommodation services for Bromley young people. Thanks to the support of providers, we gained insight into the current market and gathered feedback on the model that we were proposing. We have decided not to pursue a residential care, block model, instead adapting our approach to take into consideration the "Supported Accommodation (England) Regulations 2023" and local needs.
The London Borough of Bromley is seeking to commission multiple supported accommodation and accommodation only providers able to deliver placements across multiple homes within their estate.
There will be 3 Approved Lists as follows:
1) Supported Accommodation for Homeless Young People (16+ Years Old) Services (OFSTED Regulated) (Section 17 Children Act): These services are designed to support homeless young people in sustaining their tenancies and developing the skills necessary for independent living.
2) Supported Accommodation for Care Leavers (OFSTED Regulated) (Section 20 Children Act): This category focuses on providing a safe and supportive environment for care leavers, assisting them in their transition to independence.
3) 18+ Supported Accommodation (Unregulated): This category is for providers who can offer supported accommodation services to individuals aged 18 and over, without the regulatory requirements of OFSTED.
Please note that at least one unit must be in the London Borough of Bromley or a borough/county sharing the borough boundary.
Providers can apply to be considered for 1,2 or all 3 Approved Lists, applying for each of the lists accordingly (i.e. one application for each list). For lists 1 and 2, each unit must be registered and have a "Consistently strong service delivery that leads to typically positive experiences and progress for children OFSTED rating following the first inspection. Where improvements are needed, leaders and managers take timely and effective action" OFSTED rating following the first inspection.
Please register on our ProContract portal to see further details of our requirements and how to apply for a list.

Please note that organisations can apply to join the Council's DPS at any time during its validity if they satisfy the selection criteria and none of the grounds for exclusion apply.
If an organisation admitted to the DPS ceases to satisfy the Council's selection requirements it is likely that it may be excluded or suspended from taking part in any competition. If an admitted organisation fails one of the grounds for exclusion during the validity of the DPS the Council may be required to remove the supplier from the DPS.
For previous information regarding this DPS, please refer to the original OJEU Contract Notice reference: 2018/S 124-282380, URL: https://ted.europa.eu/udl?uri=TED:NOTICE:282380-2018:TEXT:EN:HTML and 2023/S 000-027896, URL: https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/027896-2023
