## Summary

Birmingham City Council has recently awarded a contract for the "PQ0353 - BE BOLD NEET PROJECT 2022" aimed at supporting young people not engaged in education, employment, or training (NEET). The project is set to run from 23rd May 2022 to 20th November 2022, coinciding with the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games' build-up. The procurement process followed an open procedure, with the award officially announced on 19th May 2022. The total value of the contract is approximately £90,602.08, classified mainly under welfare services for children and young people, with additional aspects of training services and special education services included.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in youth training and development, particularly those capable of delivering flexible educational programmes. Organisations that can provide innovative methods to engage NEET individuals, boost their skills, and assist them in progressing towards employment or further education are particularly well-suited to compete. Consortium bids from legally constituted groups are welcomed, allowing for collaboration and the inclusion of specialist services to enhance overall delivery effectiveness.

## Notice

Birmingham City Council ('the Council' or 'BCC') is seeking to appoint an appropriately skilled delivery agent for a bespoke project for young people who are currently not participating in education, employment or training (NEET); responding to the national, and local challenge to re-engage NEET young people in particular where the city's numbers peak at 17-years old. This project is to be delivered between May and November 2022 alongside The Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games ('B2022' or 'the Games') build-up and delivery period. This project is part of a collaborative investment in the Games Learning Programme, and the national Legacy Plan sets out the aims: 'We hope this will help young people, their families and supporting adults to: o Access unique ways to participate in the Games, including through sport and culture. o Raise aspirations and create an increased sense of purpose. o Accelerate awareness of and improve mental wellbeing. o Encourage increased physical activity and exercise, and group participation. o Gain new skills and enhance experience and enjoyment of education. o Gain access to Games related skills and employability opportunities' The delivery provider will provide training for the various elements of the Project Learning Programme. Please note consortium bids can be accepted if legally constituted (informal partnerships will not be accepted). Sub-contracting for elements of specialist provision is allowed if shown to be feasible in the timescales and delivers value for money. Use of existing provision is encouraged if it meets the specification for flexible person-centred provision. The recruitment of young people to the project must commence in May 2022 continuing through June and July. Delivery of flexible learning programmes will be over the six-month period of mid-May to mid-November so young people can progress onto further opportunities between July and November 2022, depending on the length of support provided on an individualised learning plan basis (which can include group work). The delivery provider must conduct an appropriate and engaging (for example co-produced) skills assessment with the young person, including soft skills, at entry point and deliver activities, qualifications, information, advice and guidance and progression support to meet individual needs. All of the young people engaged must be NEET. For this project NEET is defined as not in substantive employment (low hours / gig hours will not count as employment) and not attending formal education or accredited training. The Council will be using its free to use e-tendering system (in-tend) for the administration of this procurement process and potential suppliers must register with the system to be able to express an interest.
