Summary of the contracting process

The Cornwall Council is seeking to fulfil a contract titled "Contract for Transition Support for Young People to Education, Employment and Training," primarily within the career guidance services industry. This procurement process has recently concluded, with the award given to CSW Group Limited, a local authority controlled company. The procurement method employed was a limited procedure, allowing for an award without prior publication of a call for competition. Cornwall Council operates from County Hall, Truro, and the services under this contract will take place in the UK, specifically addressing the needs of children and young people transitioning into education and employment.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in career guidance and support services, particularly those focusing on vulnerable groups such as young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). As the initial term is set for 12 months with the potential for two additional one-year extensions, businesses positioned to provide tailored transition support services may find rewarding avenues for involvement. The focus on meeting statutory tracking duties and ensuring successful transitions places an emphasis on quality service delivery, indicating a competitive landscape for capable organisations willing to engage with local authorities.
