Description

Eastleigh Borough Council is looking to commission a delivery partner to work with them in the design and co-production of a range of youth services across the Borough. Once commissioned, activity to enable an 'initial phase' of delivery from 1st September 2021 will begin immediately and the provider will therefore need to be able to support this requirement.

The 'initial phase' of delivery will run from 1st September 2021 until 31st March 2022 at the latest. This will allow some early agreed aspects of service delivery to commence immediately, whilst the co-production and development of the new service is taking place. As the 'initial phase' of service delivery will not be the final designed and agreed service, it is likely to operate at a reduced level and funded pro-rata to reflect this. However, a fully agreed programme of service delivery will need to be in operation from 1st April 2022.

Whilst exact details of the new service design will be the product of discussion, it will need to be outcome driven and remain flexible and responsive to emerging need. The provider will be expected to work with Parish Council and Borough Council officers and members, to shape service provision and to report to them as required.

The latest forecast figures of children in young people aged 10 -17 in the three identified areas for service delivery (see 4. Location of Service) are set out below:

• Bishopstoke, Fair Oak & Horton Heath - 2068
• Eastleigh (Local Area) - 3124
• Chandlers Ford & Hiltingbury - 1977

Eastleigh Borough follows the profile of Hampshire County Council area as a whole with regard to social deprivation, being slightly less deprived overall than the national average. However, Eastleigh town itself is significantly more deprived than the rest of the Borough.
