## Summary

The Leeds City Council is initiating a procurement process titled "ESIF Back to work for reducing unemployment programmes." This project aims to establish a framework of providers to support the councils of Leeds and Bradford in their efforts to reduce unemployment. Classified under the CPV code for education and training services, the contract is valued at £57 million and is located in Leeds, England. The procurement stage is currently active, with the tender period ending on 12 February 2016 and the contract period set to run from 1 September 2016 to 31 August 2019. The procurement method is a selective procedure, also referred to as a restricted procedure.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in services related to economic development, skills training, and social inclusion. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary or community sector enterprises (VCSEs) would be well-suited to compete for this framework, given the emphasis on supporting local initiatives and the overarching goals of the European Structural and Investment Fund (ESIF) Programme. Businesses that provide innovative training solutions or expertise in enhancing employability would find particularly favourable conditions to contribute to the programme's objectives.
