Summary of the contracting process

The tender process followed a selective procurement method under a restricted procedure, with a contract value of £346,750. The initial tender period concluded on 4th July 2016, and the contract itself commenced on 19th September 2016, running until 31st March 2018, with the award notice published on 16th January 2017.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses focused on education and training services, particularly those with experience in delivering skills support and guidance to young people, especially those who are NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training). Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary/community sector enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to compete, given the specific requirements for organisations listed in the Skills Funding Agency Register of Training Organisations. Businesses offering apprenticeship programmes, pre-employment training, and skills support services will find this opportunity particularly advantageous for growth in the public sector.
