Summary of the contracting process

Hull and East Yorkshire Combined Authority has initiated the Connect to Work (CtW) Programme, aimed at boosting labour market participation and reducing economic inactivity within the Hull and East Yorkshire region. The procurement process is currently at the tender update stage, with opportunities actively being sought under two lots—Hull and East Riding of Yorkshire—providing services in adult education, training, and equal opportunities consultancy. The procurement, valued at £9,010,000, follows an open procedure facilitated by Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation. Interested parties must submit bids electronically in English by 7th April 2026, as the tender period concludes at this date, with the contracts expected to commence in June 2026.

This tender presents substantial growth prospects for businesses specialising in employment services, training, and consultancy. With its focus on supporting employment outcomes and labour market participation, organisations with expertise in adult education, training, and community engagement are ideal candidates. This initiative offers a strategic avenue for such businesses to expand their services by contributing to regional economic development. The accelerated procurement process, driven by an urgent state, underscores the significance of rapid and effective delivery models, catering particularly to sectors facing recruitment challenges like health and social care, logistics, and administration, thereby fostering resilience and productivity within the local economy.
