This project is funded by the European Social Fund and Youth Employment Initiative, targeting young individuals aged 15 to 29 who are not in employment, education, or training (NEET). The procurement process is currently in the tender stage, with applications accepted for various service lots covering engagement, training, and work placements. The tender period is set to conclude on 23 November 2018, with the contract period scheduled to commence on 1 January 2019 and run until 31 December 2023. The expected contract value ranges from £15 million to £20 million. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in education and training services. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) may find this particularly appealing, as the project is designed to incorporate flexible approaches to meet the needs of disadvantaged groups. Interested providers can join the Impact Project DPS at any time and should be prepared to deliver tailored services that enhance the employability of young people within the community. ## Notice The Impact Project DPS is being set up by Dudley MBC, on behalf of other Authorities Sandwell MBC, Walsall MBC, The City of Wolverhampton Council & Wolverhampton Voluntary Sector Council ('the Impact Partners').The Impact Project DPS will help the Impact Partners deliver a European Social Fund and Youth Employment Initiative funded project ('the Impact Project') to address high levels of youth unemployment in the Black Country through sustainable integration into the labour market of young people, in particular those aged 15-29 years not in employment, education or training (NEET), including young people at risk of social exclusion and from marginalised communities. Service users are described as 'Impact Participants'. Economic operators will be able to apply to join the Impact Project DPS in respect of eight Service Lots covering services including engagement, skills, training, work placements, end to end provision (see below). Some supplies may be purchased via Service Lot 8. Additional information: The main subject matter is 'social and other specific services' which fall within the 'light regime'. Impact Partners will use flexibilities under Regs 74-76. E.g. the Impact Partners do not intend to comply with all the requirements of Regulation 34 (DPS). They will adapt procedures to suit the requirements of the Impact Project and the specific needs of the Impact Participants which include disadvantaged and vulnerable groups.

Where practicable, the Impact Partners intend to allow a period of 10 calendar days for the return of Tenders however the Impact Partners reserve the right to specify a longer or shorter period on a case by case basis.
