## Summary

The 'Employment for People with Learning Disabilities Grant Fund' is a public procurement initiative led by Leeds City Council, aimed at enhancing employment opportunities for individuals with learning disabilities in Leeds, Yorkshire and the Humber. The grant, valued at £80,000, falls under the health and social work services category and was awarded through a direct procurement method. The contract period commenced on 1st April 2021 and is set to conclude on 31st March 2023. The award notice was published on 13th July 2021, following a tender period that ended on 1st March 2021.

This procurement process presents significant opportunities for community-focused organisations, particularly those within the third sector, including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs).

Engaging in such contracts not only aids in social betterment but can also enhance the business's profile within the community, leading to potential future partnerships and growth.
