The tender, currently in the active stage, must be submitted by 16th November 2024, with the contract commencing on 25th November 2024 and running until 31st March 2026. The process follows an open procurement method, specifically an open procedure below the financial threshold, and seeks a provider to further develop the Bright Futures model, targeting young people through well-organised events aligned with governmental investment zones. This tender offers significant business opportunities for entities specialising in educational programme design, marketing, and event management. The ideal candidates will possess deep expertise in engaging diverse audiences and experience in diversity and inclusion initiatives, particularly in a youth context. Businesses with capabilities in safeguarding, networking, and systemic change are particularly suited to compete. The project promises not only direct financial rewards, valued at GBP 160,000, but also the possibility to collaborate with a prestigious public sector organisation and leverage new business relationships with stakeholders including schools, youth organisations, and investors. ## Notice Based on the success of the March 2023 pilot and 2024 events, we are looking for provider(s) to develop the Bright Futures model further and explore additional scope, reach and impacts it might have.
