## Summary

Wirral Borough Council is seeking proposals for the "Worklessness Support Service" as part of the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority's "Ways to Work Programme". This open tender, classified under the education and training services sector, is primarily aimed at supporting workless young people and adults within the council's catchment area to transition into education, employment, and training. The tender is currently in the active stage and must be submitted by 1st July 2019. The total contract value is estimated at £2,980,000, with a minimum contract value of £1,725,000. If approved, the service is scheduled to begin on 1st September 2019 and will run until 30th June 2021.

This opportunity represents significant growth potential for organisations focused on community support services and employment assistance, particularly those experienced in working with diverse groups, including young people and unemployed adults. Given the tender's emphasis on educational and training support, businesses providing such services, including training providers, job placement agencies, and community engagement organisations, would be well-placed to compete. Collaboration with local entities or leveraging expertise in delivering similar programmes could enhance bids, especially given the prospective European Social Fund financing.

## Notice
