The funding for children and young people's programmes intends to build an inclusive economy, where all children and young people have equal opportunities to realise their potential and be part of the region's future success. To achieve this, we are launching a Children and Young People's Flexible Procurement Framework and inviting a wide range of organisations and providers including public and private sector, independent training organisations, Voluntary and Community Sector Organisations (VCSE) organisations and other stakeholders, to tender for a place on the Framework. The Flexible Procurement Framework will initially be utilised to procure providers for NTCA investment fund allocation for education improvement and child poverty prevention programmes.
