## Summary

Bath and North East Somerset Council has concluded a procurement process for providing career and employment support aimed at children who are in care and at risk of becoming NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training). The contract, titled "Career and Employment Support for Children who are looked after", falls under the industry category of Health and Social Work Services and will be implemented in England. The procurement stage is complete, with the award date being 16th August 2024, and the contract period lasting from 1st September 2024 to 31st August 2025. This was a direct award contract with a budget of £36,141.14.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses that specialize in early intervention and support services aimed at vulnerable youth. Companies with expertise in providing tailored career advice and employment support programmes will find this contract highly relevant. Additionally, service providers experienced in collaborating with local authorities to support young people in different regions should consider competing for similar tenders to expand their portfolio and contribute to social impact initiatives. Youth Connect South West and Youth Connect have been awarded this contract, indicating a demand for established organisations capable of delivering large-scale solutions.

## Notice

The number of children who are looked after and not in education, employment or training (NEET) continues to be an area of concern in B&NES. We are looking to develop an early help graduated support programme to both identify and support these children at an earlier age. Due to the complexities of working with young people placed in a different Local Authority, it is envisaged that this additional commissioned service will seek to ensure that they are not further disadvantaged. This contract is to fund 3 days a week of targeted support to provide careers and employment advice for children at risk of becoming NEET.
