Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves Norfolk County Council seeking bids for the provision of three tailored events aimed at young individuals aged 15-18 participating in the Positive Activities Project (Apprenticeships). This initiative, funded by the Essential Life Skills Programme, is set to take place in the Norwich area during school holidays in 2019, with crucial dates including one event during Easter 2019 and additional events during the May half-term. The total budget for this project is £10,500, and the procurement method employed is an open procedure below the threshold, with the tender period ending on 14 February 2019.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in youth engagement, education, and event management, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community sector organisations (VCSEs). Firms that can provide unique, non-duplicative extracurricular activities and demonstrate the ability to support vulnerable youths will be well-suited to compete. Collaboration with local organisations and employers to enhance the service offered is also encouraged, aligning with the project’s aim to improve soft skills among participants.

Notice Title

Invitation to Quote to provide three tailored events for 15-18-year olds who will be taking part in the Positive Activities Project (Apprenticeships).

Notice Description

Norfolk County Council has secured funding from the Essential Life Skills Programme to provide extra-curricular activities in the Norwich Opportunity Area. This will be delivered through a Positive Activities Project (Apprenticeships). The project will focus on 50 individuals aged between 15-18-years old who have identified Apprenticeships as their first choice. However, these individuals would benefit from some targeted support so that in the competitive Apprenticeship market they can succeed and sustain. The project identifies vulnerable young people and provides them with a package of support. They will attend a regular extra-curricular activity, a series of tailored events and participate in a bespoke voluntary work placement, if appropriate. The project will help to build young people's soft skills such as leadership, resilience, confidence, and team working. The funding requirement for this project states that there should not be any duplication of the current extra curricula or careers activities already being delivered in local high schools. Therefore, we are looking to commission activities that the young people are unlikely to have taken part in previously. Norfolk County Council intends to procure three events to take place in and around the Norwich area in the school holidays 2019. At least one event should take place during the Easter holidays 2019 and the other/s during the May half term break 2019. We estimate 15-25 young people will attend each event, more accurate numbers will be available in due course. Each event and venue must be accessible to all. Adequate staffing levels will need to be maintained throughout each event to ensure the health and safety of all participants. The events should be delivered over a morning or afternoon - maximum 4 hours per event, although two sessions could be combined. If two are delivered on the same day, lunch will need to be provided to cater to all requirements. Each person attending should receive a i.e. certificate/award. We require confirmation of attendance which will need to be monitored and recorded for each event. All participants will complete detailed feedback/evaluation at all events. We would encourage providers to work together with other local organisations/employers to ensure that all aspects of the tender are met. The events should ideally be delivered in the central Norwich area. However, if other locations are to be used then transport will need to be provided for all young people to and from the event/s by the provider.
