This procurement falls under the services category, specifically focusing on software package and information systems, with an estimated contract value of £70,000. The tender is currently in the Award stage, having been published on 13 April 2017, with a tender deadline that closed on 2 May 2017. The selected service will be operational from 1 July 2017 through to 30 June 2019. This tender represents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in educational tracking systems and client management software. Companies that can provide a compliant Client Caseload Information System are particularly suited to participate, as the service is aimed at helping local authorities ensure the successful tracking and support of young people in education, employment, and training. Given that local authorities are under statutory obligations, this project may allow suitable businesses to secure a long-term contract that contributes positively to community engagement initiatives. ## Notice Local authorities are expected to have arrangements in place to track and monitor young people's participation in education, employment and training up to age 19 (and to 25 for young people with learning difficulties and disabilities). The Education and Skills Act 2008 legislated to raise the age of compulsory participation in education or training until at least 18 by 2015 and until the end of the year in which young people turn 17 in 2013 - this is known as Raising the Participation Age (RPA). Local Authorities are responsible for ensuring that young people in their area participate and that there is support for young people to overcome barriers to engagement. St Helens Council ("the Council") has for a number of years fulfilled its duty to track young people through a contract with Careers Connect Ltd (CC). This has included the provision of a Department for Education (DfE) compliant Client Caseload Information System (CCIS) which CC have used to handle their day-to-day case work, generate management information and provide the local authorities monthly return to the National Client Caseload Information System (NCCIS). St Helens are seeking to procure a Tracking and Monitoring Service that will need to fulfil the DfE requirements and to be fully operational from 1st July 2017. In order to provide the optimum service, there must be strong mechanisms in place for recording and reporting post-16 learning destinations of young people aged 16-19. A Client Caseload Information System (CCIS) will provide the Council with the means of recording such activities as well helping to target resources towards those young people who are not engaged in education, employment or training (NEET) and those young people within vulnerable groups. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/44b780a2-7118-4555-ac7d-e36d300829b3 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 30 Jun 2017 | | Submission deadline | 2 May 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 29 Jun 2017 | | Contract period | 2 Jul 2017 - 29 Jun 2018 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £70,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £32,504 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | ST.HELENS COUNCIL | | Locality | ST.HELENS | | Post town | Warrington | | Postcode | WA10 1HP | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD7 Merseyside | | ITL 3 | TLD71 East Merseyside | | Local authority | St. Helens | | Electoral ward | St Helens Town Centre | | Westminster constituency | St Helens South and Whiston | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | CAREER CONNECT | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 48 - Software package and information systems ### Codes - 48000000 - Software package and information systems ## Release History - 30 Jun 2017 at 11:12 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/44b780a2-7118-4555-ac7d-e36d300829b3 - 13 Apr 2017 at 13:29 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/44b780a2-7118-4555-ac7d-e36d300829b3 - 13 Apr 2017 at 13:25 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/44b780a2-7118-4555-ac7d-e36d300829b3 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/44b780a2-7118-4555-ac7d-e36d300829b3 30th June 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=e1d149de-aa1b-e711-80dd-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.sthelens.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
