Lot Information
Lot 1
North Ayrshire Council require a supplier to administer the Work Experience programme for all schools in North Ayrshire. This includes identifying placements, employer engagement to support placements and liaising with schools to support pupils. The contract is required to support the delivery of workplace experience placements to young people in line with the Careers Education Standard. There is an existing database of employers on an operational database (WorkIT) which NAC own, but the prospective supplier will maintain on our behalf schools' access to source & book placements. The database requires constant refresh and evaluation. This will require the supplier to work with employers to widen the range of business sectors offering placements to ensure that young people who have a clear set of career aspirations are able to have meaningful exposure to the demands of their chosen field. Local and national labour market intelligence will help to inform this.
Renewal: contract will be for a period of 1 years commencing 01/10/2023 until 30/09/2024 with the option to extend for up to a further 36 month extension period until 30/09/2027.
