This procurement aims to support organisations working with young people affected by criminal exploitation to enhance their engagement in education, training, and employment. The bidding process is at the Tender stage, and interested parties should submit their expressions of interest by 2nd June 2022. The value of the funding available is up to £20,000, and the contract period is set to run from 1st July 2022 to 1st December 2023, focusing on the East of England region. This tender presents a significant opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector organisations (VCSEs) specialising in education, youth services, and social support. Businesses that have expertise in providing tailored activities, life skills training, and trauma-informed care for vulnerable young people, particularly those recovering from issues related to substance misuse and gang involvement, would be strong competitors for this funding. Participating in this grant scheme could lead to substantial growth and impactful service delivery in the community. ## Notice The Targeted Youth Service has received project funding from the England European Structural and Investment Funds Growth Programme 2014-2020 (2.1 Skills for Growth - Access to Lifelong Learning). The Department for Work and Pensions are the managing authorities for ESF funding through the Growth Programme. The project will run between September 21 and December 23. The projects main remit is to ensure children and young people effected by criminal exploitation (CE) remain included and engaged in education training and employment (ETE) as this is a key factor in reducing risk and increasing life chances.

The maximum amount that can be granted to an organisation is PS20,000 (excluding VAT) Please do contact us if you are interested as soon as possible so that you can access the expression of interest form.
