The Skills Funding Agency has completed the procurement process for the contract titled "Access to Employment: Black Country LEP - Skills Support for Unemployed," aimed at providing employment access for disadvantaged jobseekers within the West Midlands region of the United Kingdom. The total value of this contract is approximately £1,900,000, and it follows a selective procurement method with a restricted procedure. The contract period commenced on 1st December 2016 and will conclude on 30th March 2018. This opportunity was delineated under the education and training services industry category, facilitating a variety of skill development programs, including apprenticeships and community learning.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in educational services, particularly those within the training and workforce development sectors. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are especially well-positioned to compete, as they can bring innovative solutions to improving access to employment for individuals identified as NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training). With recent focus on skills training in this locality, organisations that can effectively deliver tailored training solutions and support services will likely benefit from this contract and contribute to community upliftment.
