Notice of proposed decision first published: 23/03/2026

This decision will be taken under urgency procedures.

Reason for urgency:
Agreement on the value of funding that will be used for this procurement, and delivery of the community grants programme supported by this contract has only just been provisionally agreed with the York North Yorkshire Combined Authority for Year 2 of the Trailblazer Economically Inactive programme. The programme is due to start on 1st April 2026 which impacts significantly on our ability to commence on time. Delays risk loss of deliverable ability from community organisations within the agreed funding timescales (up to 31 March 2027). The DWP also reserve the right to withdraw grant funding for the programme if timely progress is not made.

Decision due: 2 Apr 2026 by Corporate Director of Health and Adult Services
