## Summary

The East Suffolk Council has successfully concluded the procurement process for the provision of a Youth Employment Service aimed at supporting 16-24 year olds in East Suffolk. This tender, which followed an open procurement method, began by inviting proposals but has now reached the award stage. The contract, valued at £120,000, is set to commence on 1st October 2019 and will run until 30th September 2022, with the primary focus on assisting young individuals not currently engaged in employment, education, or training (NEET).

This procurement opportunity presents significant growth potential for businesses specialising in youth services and educational support. Companies that have experience in delivering similar services, as well as those with a strong background in training, mentorship, and apprenticeship programmes, would be well-suited to compete. The involvement of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) is encouraged, fostering a diverse range of solutions to meet the needs of the young people in the region.

## Notice

East Suffolk Council is commissioning a Youth Employment Service for 16-24 year olds. Building on the previous Lowestoft-based service MyGo, the new service will extend provision across the whole of East Suffolk. The service should provide a universal offer for any young person seeking advice and support about employment, but primarily the focus will be on those currently not in employment, education or training (NEET). The service will support and encourage them to become work ready and ultimately move into paid work, work placements, employment, voluntary work, education, apprenticeships and/or training.
