## Summary

The North Somerset Council has completed a tender process for the supply of Employment Support for Women Work Returners. The contract, valued at £60,000 GBP, aims to assist economically inactive women in returning to work by providing support and training. The programme is designed to address multiple barriers to employment, such as domestic abuse, special educational needs in children, health issues, lone parenting, and housing instability. The tender was opened on 6th September 2023 and closed on 2nd October 2023, with the contract period scheduled to start on 8th January 2024 and end on 25th March 2025 within England, United Kingdom.

This tender opportunity offers business growth prospects for organisations specializing in business and management consultancy and related services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly suited to compete for this opportunity. Businesses that focus on providing support services to vulnerable groups, such as women facing employment barriers, can leverage this procurement to expand their operations. The North Somerset Council has chosen an open procurement method to ensure a transparent and competitive process in selecting a supplier for this vital initiative.
