## Summary

The Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council has awarded a contract titled "DUD - BCI - Higher Level Employability Skills & Work Experience Programme - Sandwell." This programme is classified under the education and training services sector and is located in the West Midlands, United Kingdom. The procurement process was conducted using a selective method, defined as a restricted procedure. The contract commenced on 1st September 2020 and will run until 30th July 2021, following the tender period which concluded on 26th August 2020. The total value of the contract is £87,542.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those in the education and training sector, as well as organisations specialising in career development and apprenticeship programmes. Companies that offer innovative employability skills training or practical work experience initiatives would be well-suited to compete for similar contracts in the future. Additionally, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to engage, given the inclusive nature of this procurement opportunity.

## Notice

This programme has been designed to engage those students who had intended to move either into Higher Level Apprenticeships or attend university but are now considering alternative options. The students will have achieved higher level grades in A 'Level's & GCSEs. We are therefore seeking an innovate and challenging programme that will introduce them to a wide range of career options and offer opportunities for them to explore a variety of sectors & roles, through practical work experience. The 12-week programme will include a minimum of 2 weeks spent concentrating on employability skills, 9 weeks work experience, with the final week back in the centre, consolidating on experiences and action planning for the future. Attendance should be 3 - 4 days per week when in the centre but full time when on work experience. The programme must allow for the fact that learners may wish to experience more than one sector or role.
