Summary of the contracting process

Durham County Council is seeking providers for the "DurhamWorks Employment Routeways" contract, which involves education and training services within the region of County Durham, UK. This procurement is currently in the award stage after being initiated via an open tender process complying with Public Contracts Regulation 2015. The contract has been segmented into two lots: Lot 1 and Lot 2, both aimed at supporting 16-24 year-olds who are NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training). The contract, which has a total value of £1,700,000, includes the potential for extensions based on performance and need, with the original end date of the tender period set for 4th March 2022.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in educational and training services that cater to young adults, particularly those focused on guiding NEET individuals into employment, apprenticeships, or further education. Businesses with the capacity to provide tailored support and deliver programmes across the diverse sectors that appeal to young people would be well-positioned to compete. Furthermore, companies are encouraged to leverage the funding available through the European Structural & Investment Funds (ESIF) and the Youth Employment Initiative, which will enhance the attractiveness of their bids.
