Summary of the contracting process

Transport for London (TfL) has concluded the procurement process for the "GLA 82364 Early Connect London Pilot 2" project, focusing on delivering the second phase of an educational and training services programme within the London area. This open procedure, categorized under CPV code 80000000, was awarded on 28th January 2025 to Rinova Limited, with a total contract value of GBP 140,000. The programme aims to support an additional 150 young people from the year 13 cohort to enter apprenticeships, beginning its services from 29th January 2025 and continuing until 28th January 2026. Noteworthy deadlines include the tender period's end on 28th January 2025. This initiative will be carried out at various locations within London, United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for qualified service providers, particularly those specializing in educational and training services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are well-positioned to compete in delivering both light-touch and intensive support models to young people. The light-touch model involves providing information and online group sessions in collaboration with regional and local providers, while the intensive support model offers bespoke, individual advice services, linking young people directly with employers and assisting with apprenticeship applications. Entering such a contract can facilitate business growth through enhanced involvement in regional educational initiatives and fostering robust networks with local employers and apprenticeship providers.
