What is being bought

We are procuring organisations to maintain and facilitate a youth voice network for the Electoral Commission from 2026-2030. We expect existing members of the Youth Voice Network to be offered the opportunity to continue in the network, should they wish, to support continuity and the ongoing development of their knowledge and skills, while enabling them to share these with others. This is not intended to privilege existing providers. Proposals should demonstrate how applicants will balance retaining experienced participants with engaging new young people and introducing fresh approaches. The successful organisations will: - support young people to increase their knowledge of voting and democracy and their confidence to participate - both young people directly involved in the network and those who are not - support meaningful engagement between the Electoral Commission and youth voice network members - this includes consultations about our work - support youth voice network members to co-create educational resources and programmes for their peers - be a key delivery partner for Welcome to Your Vote Week in their respective nation (usually taking place annually in March) - advise the Electoral Commission on how to expand the remit and impact of the Youth Voice Network, including defining routes to decision-making and engagement with our Board of Commissioners - engage a diverse group of young people in the network

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 80. The category anchor is Education and training services (80000000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 804,0052 median · 30 average (1,740 of 4,005 with a bid count)3 average (1,892 of 4,005 with named award suppliers)1 comparable price pairs

Delivery region: UKC1323.5 median · 59.1 average (30 of 132 with a bid count)3.6 average (32 of 132 with named award suppliers)Not published
Similar published value (0.5×–2×)3337 median · 7.1 average (11 of 333 with a bid count)1.3 average (12 of 333 with named award suppliers)1 comparable price pairs

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
