This procurement falls under the social and personal services category, offering a budget of £70,000. The open procurement method was used, with the tender period concluding on 27th October 2017. The contract is set to begin on 2nd January 2018 and continue until 21st December 2018. The main aim is to foster sustainable relationships between local employers and employment support agencies to provide job opportunities for young people in Greater Manchester. This tender presents significant growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community sector organisations (VCSEs) that have strong connections with local employers and a deep understanding of employment programmes. Companies with the ability to engage effectively with various local forum groups and facilitate meetings can leverage this initiative to enhance their market presence while contributing to a vital social cause. ## Notice The purpose will be to develop relationships between employment support agencies (Greater Manchester Talent Match Host Organisations and Talent Coaches) and local employers that will last beyond the lifetime of the programme which ends in December 2018. We anticipate that the success of the relationships will provide work related opportunities and jobs for young people in their local areas. We require the main engagement by your organisation with Talent Coaches to be linked to their established Local Forum meetings. There are 6 forum groups which cover all the Local Authority areas of Greater Manchester and it is vital that the provider works with each group forum for the whole project. When the project ends we would like the ongoing developed relationships between the employers and local forums to be established and self-sustaining. As this is a 12-month project, our expectation is that the preferred provider(s) will be in a position to provide immediate start in January 2018 with staff and resources already in place. We would expect that the provider will have; * strong existing links and excellent working relationships with local employers * a solid understanding of current employment programmes It is important that we develop links between local employers and host organisations that deliver our young person support. Outputs that we are looking to achieve: * Ensure the coverage includes all of the 10 Greater Manchester areas * Work with and arrange meetings with local Talent Coaches * Analyse and determine what jobs and job sectors are available locally to young people * Proactively find employers that are willing to engage and meet regularly with Talent Coaches and Host Organisations * Facilitate ongoing meetings with between employers and Talent Coach Forums and establish a plan for continuation post contract * Provide direct support to employers in each Local Forum area to provide job opportunities which would be available for Young People Briefing Event To assist the process Greater Manchester Talent Match will be holding a briefing event on Friday 29th September 2017 (1.30pm to 3.30pm) at GMCVO to allow potential bidders to ask questions and find out more information with regards to the procurement to assist with their proposal design and final application completion.
