        "description": "Warwickshire County Council (the Council), in collaboration with Coventry City Council is seeking a single provider to enhance the participation of 16-17-year-olds in education and training (EET) and to reduce the number of young people who are Not in Education, Employment, or Training (NEET) or whose situation is unknown. Each authority will have its own separate, stand-alone contract and will individually manage the performance of their respective contracts. The service provider will track young people's post 16 participation in education and training and identify NEET young people through the tracking activities, ensuring clear referral pathways to other organisations, including learning providers. Additionally, the provider will identify young people who are at risk of dropping out of learning provision and offer support to help them overcome barriers to engagement in EET. The Service aims to focus on and support young people who are NEET by: 1. encouraging, enabling and assisting young people to participate in education and training. 2. raising awareness of local labour market opportunities. 3. raising aspirations - setting high expectations of every individual. 4. linking to the local authorities for planning and data collection for the Department for Education (DFE). 5. linking with National Careers Service providers, NEET delivery providers and Jobcentre Plus. * The service outlined in this specification will be available to: * all young people in Coventry and Warwickshire who are in Year 11 up to the end of the academic year they turn 18 (up to 25 for young people with an EHCP/Care Leavers); * those young people identified as not in education, employment or training (NEET); * schools, colleges and training providers in Coventry and Warwickshire. The service provider will be compliant with DfE MI Requirements as set out in the DfE's most recent NCCIS Management Information Requirements guidance",
