This initiative aims to address poverty and social exclusion in the Tamworth District and is categorised under other community, social, and personal services. The tender is currently in the active stage, with a deadline for submissions set for 8th May 2018. The contract is expected to commence on 4th June 2018 and is to be completed by 31st December 2019, with a funding allocation of £85,000. The procurement method is an open procedure, suitable for smaller businesses and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSE). This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses engaged in community development, skills training, and employability services, particularly those focused on supporting individuals with health conditions or disabilities. Companies that can deliver community-based activities aimed at enhancing employability among disadvantaged populations in the West Midlands would be particularly well-suited to compete. As the contract aims to improve the livelihoods of vulnerable groups, organisations with experience in social services, training, or counselling are encouraged to apply and can significantly contribute to local community development. ## Notice Building Better Opportunities (BBO) is a multi-million pound funding programme which matches money from the European Social Fund and the National Lottery, through the Big Lottery Fund to to tackle poverty and social exclusion faced by the most disadvantaged people in England. Steps to Work have been the lead organisation for the BBO Programme across Cannock, Tamworth, Lichfield and East Staffordshire since January 2017. We have identified additional areas of need and are therefore inviting organisations who feel they can deliver community based skills development- related activities and/or employability - related activities to people who have a health condition and/or disability (Depression/Learning Difficulties/Mental Health) within the Tamworth District. We are seeking one delivery partner that can commence delivery on the 4th June 2018. Projects must be completed by the 31st December 2019.
