The Royal Borough of Greenwich is commissioning the NextGen Youth Service as a core part of the borough's new, integrated NextGen Greenwich model. This ambitious transformation programme has been co-designed with children and young people and shaped by extensive engagement with families, schools, voluntary and community organisations, and professionals across the borough.
This is a unique opportunity for providers to be part of a borough-wide shift towards prevention, early intervention, equity, and youth voice, supporting children and young people to thrive and reach their full potential.
The Royal Borough of Greenwich is seeking to engage with providers of NextGen Youth Service to attend our market engagement event.
This event will aim to:
Share our vision for NextGen Greenwich and what we are expecting providers to deliver
Give providers an opportunity to ask us questions
Prepare providers to bid for our services
Keep building and strengthening relationships with and between providers
This market engagement event will be held on Thursday 26th February at 1-5pm at Woolwich Town Hall.
This market engagement event will be presented for both:
NextGen Youth Services: 1-3pm
NextGen SHaW (School-aged Health and Wellbeing): 3-5pm
Providers are encouraged to attend both events as the services will be expected to work closely as part of the wider NextGen Greenwich model.
Ahead of the engagement event the Council are publishing the draft specification for comment by the wider market prior to the tender publication process. This is to test the requirements at a high level and to meaningfully engage with the market. Please request a copy of the draft specification in the form - link as below. Please provide comments you may have no later than the 1st March and email these to Childrens-commissioning@royalgreenwich.gov.uk.
To register your attendance for either or both event, please complete the form forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx ↗ by Monday 23rd February. Those that haven't registered may not be able to attend due to limited capacity.
For any questions, please email Childrens-commissioning@royalgreenwich.gov.uk

| supplier not published | — | 30 Apr 2026 | CancelledWe are reviewing and revising our tender documents as following a very high level review of some elements of tender responses there may have been some ambiguity in elements of the tender document requirements, which impacted market understanding of service delivery and response to these documents. Tenderers may have construed and understood the instructions for the social value elements in different ways and this could have impacted not only on the tenders submitted but also how the market may have interpreted the requirements prior to submitting bids. |
