This active tender falls under the category of software consultancy services, with a total value of £67,000. The procurement method is an open procedure, allowing for broad participation. Key dates include the deadline for Stage 1 tender submissions on 10th July 2019 at 12:00 PM, with notifications of shortlisted bidders expected by 12th July 2019. The contract is anticipated to start on 22nd July 2019 and run until 19th July 2020. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses in the software consultancy sector, especially those specialising in recruitment services aimed at software development roles. Companies that are adept at attracting junior developers or mature developers with suitable risk profiles could find this project particularly beneficial. Given the emphasis on improving application ratios and the quality of candidates, firms equipped to demonstrate innovative recruitment strategies will likely have a competitive edge in this procurement process. ## Notice Our primary recruitment objective is to increase the ratio of application to placement on the Launchpad programme. Currently, Launchpad averages a 3:1 application ratio to placement with an average rejection rate of 2/3 of all applications. Further evidence suggests that in order to meet intake/output funding targets, we take some managed risk on some applicants placed into the programme. We wish to increase the application ratio to a minimum of 5:1 with an associated increase of software development applications, concentrating on Junior Developers or mature developers who clearly demonstrate the correct risk profile for the programme (programme withdrawals currently demonstrate a predominance profile of male, mature software developer). We also wish to increase the quality of applicant in both skill level and risk profile.
