UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Wirral Council, a sub-central government public authority, spearheaded the "Youth Guarantee Trailblazer for Care Leavers" project aimed at reducing the number of care-experienced young people aged 18 to 21 who are NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training). This contract, categorised under Education and Training Services, is located in UKD74 and has reached the award stage, having begun on 19th December 2025 and expected to conclude on 31st March 2026. The procurement method utilised was a limited competition below the threshold with a total contract value of £100,557. The contract also includes a potential 12-month renewal period depending on available funding.

This tender represents substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for organisations involved in education and training services with capabilities to deliver personal and social development, vocational skills, and employability skill enhancement. Large scale organisations with social values (VCSE), such as the Merseyside Youth Association Limited, recently awarded the contract, are especially well-suited to collaborate with Wirral Council in such community-focused projects. Suppliers capable of flexible and adaptive educational programs can significantly benefit from participating in future similar procurement processes.
