This program, under a limited procurement method and classified under education and training services, aims to reduce the number of young people aged 18 to 21 who are not in education, employment, or training by offering flexible provisions in personal and social development and vocational skills. The procurement stage is in the award phase, with the contract being signed on 19th December 2025.

Large-scale organisations with capability in flexible educational solutions or vocational training would be well-suited to participate, especially given the cross-disciplinary skills required to fulfil the programme's objectives. The successful supplier for this contract is Merseyside Youth Association Limited, situated in Liverpool, who will deliver the stated services under this agreement, thus setting a benchmark for other businesses interested in future similar opportunities.
