## Summary

The procurement process for the "Black Country Impact - Breaking Down Barriers to Employment" tender was conducted by Black Country Business. This project, which falls under the education and training services category, aims to enhance pre-employment skills for 16 to 29-year-olds in Sandwell who are not currently engaged in employment, education, or training. The tender period concluded on 19th July 2017, and the contract commenced on 7th August 2017, running until 6th March 2018. The procurement method employed was an open procedure.

This tender presents significant opportunities for organisations specialising in educational and training services, particularly those focused on youth employment and skills development. Businesses that offer innovative training solutions, particularly those targeting the NEET (Not in Employment, Education or Training) demographic, would be well-suited to compete. The involvement of a large supplier, SWEDA, indicates a competitive environment where smaller or local providers can also succeed by showcasing their expertise and tailored approaches to improving employability among young people in the West Midlands.
