Summary of the contracting process

Blackpool Council is inviting applications for funding under the title "(Grant Funding) Blackpool Youth Hub - Innovation Fund (UK Community Renewal Fund)." This initiative, which falls under the education and training services industry category, aims to develop innovative support options to assist 16-24-year-old individuals in Blackpool in securing employment or training opportunities. The procurement process is currently in the Tender stage, with bids due by 9 December 2021. A total budget of £100,000 is allocated for the project, which will be delivered over a six-month period, starting from 10 January to 30 June 2022.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in youth services, training providers, and those offering innovative employment support solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to apply, with bids starting at a minimum of £20,000. Successful proposals will be selected based on their ability to meet Blackpool Council's expectations and contribute effectively toward reducing the number of NEET (not in education, employment, or training) individuals in the area.

Notice Information

Notice Title

(Grant Funding) Blackpool Youth Hub - Innovation Fund (UK Community Renewal Fund)

Notice Description

Blackpool Council has successfully bid into the Community Renewal Fund to develop a new Youth Hub for 16-24-year-old young people under the 'supporting people into employment' priority. We want to work with organisations capable of developing innovative support options for young people in Blackpool to move them closer to and into work and we are inviting applications for funding from providers who can help us achieve this. Applications for funding MUST align with the 'supporting people into employment' priority, and outcomes should be focused on supporting young people into either an employment or training outcome so that they are no longer NEET (not in education, employment and training). We expect a minimum of 25% of young people involved in the activity to move into work or learning. Applications funded will form part of the integrated offer of the Blackpool Youth Hub. A total of PS100,000 (max) is available over the 6-month delivery period (w/c 10 January to 30 June 2022). Whilst we welcome applications of all sizes, our expectation is that bids will be a minimum value of PS20,000. Larger bids may be considered if they offer exceptional opportunities that can be delivered within the timeframe. Funding will be awarded to proposals that best meet the Council's requirements (within the total funds available). Blackpool Council reserve the right to award the full amount of the grant applied for or offer part funding. Where part funding is offered and is declined the council reserve the right to make an offer to the next highest scoring application. This project is funded by the UK Government through the UK Community Renewal Fund. The UK Community Renewal Fund is a UK Government programme for 2021/22. This aims to support people and communities most in need across the UK to pilot programmes and new approaches to prepare for the UK Shared Prosperity Fund. It invests in skills, community and place, local business, and supporting people into employment.
