Renewal

Description
The contract will be awarded for 1 year, with 3 optional extension periods as follows: August 2027 - July 2028- optional 12 month extension period August 2028 - March 2029- optional 7 month extension period April 2029 - March 2030- optional 12 month extension period The maximum contract end date will be 31 March 2030 (43 Months maximum term).

Options

Description
The right to additional purchases while the contract is valid. These options would be subject to DCMS approvals and only triggered if needed, for example within an evolving policy landscape. These options are as follows: 1. An option to increase the scale of the programme to an additional 15 local authorities. This would involve a higher number of local authorities delivering local youth transformation projects only. This option would entail increasing the estimated contract value by up to £1m and adjusting the financial year profiling to enable delivery to a larger number of local authorities in 27/28 and 28/29. 2. An option to accelerate delivery and increase scale of the programme to an additional 30 local authorities, in line with SoS's ambitions for delivery of the National Youth Strategy, which this programme supports. This option would entail increasing the estimated contract value by up to £2m and adjusting the financial year profiling to enable delivery to a larger number of local authorities from 26/27, including a rapid mobilisation period. 3. One extension from April 2029 - March 2030, should the programme receive an extension to its funding in the next Spending Review to continue delivery into 2030. This would increase the estimated contract value of up to £1.5m in 29/30. 4. A contingency option providing up to 2 FTEs on a secondment basis to DCMS. This option would entail the delivery of administration and operational services related to the programme to support DCMS, if required, due to unforeseen resourcing challenges. This would increase the estimated contract value up to £100,000 over the lifetime of the programme. If this option is utilised the tenderer and the FTEs may be expected to sign any relevant DCSM secondment agreement or other documents.
