This project is classified under youth education services and aims to engage 694 primary and 195 secondary schools, with activities set to start in Spring 2023. Key dates include a tender deadline of 1st August 2022 and the project launch on 2nd August 2022, culminating in the selection of two Young Poet Laureates in July 2023. The procurement method for this opportunity is an open procedure. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in educational services, creative arts, and community engagement, particularly those experienced in delivering cultural programmes within the educational sector. Organisations that can demonstrate expertise in poetry, creative literacy, or development of arts-based programmes will be well-suited to compete. The successful organisation will not only contribute to an inclusive educational initiative but will also have the chance to establish long-term partnerships with schools and influence future generations of creative talent in the region. ## Notice West Yorkshire Combined Authority wishes to deliver a programme of activity to promote poetry, creative literacy and pathways to the creative industries within schools in West Yorkshire. The programme will culminate in the selection of two Young Poet Laureates for West Yorkshire, who will have the opportunity to shadow the West Yorkshire Mayor Tracy Brabin and the National Poet Laureate Simon Armitage, attend key cultural events across the region, write poems to commission, and inspire a new generations of poets and creatives. We wish to engage an organisation with appropriate skills, experience and capacity in the sector to research and develop the project at pace (Sept-Dec 2022), and deliver the project in schools launching in Spring 2023, with appointment of the young poet laureates in July 2023, and a programme of Poet Laureate activities taking place from July 2023 - July 2024. The West Yorkshire Young Poets Laureate programme will be an inclusive project, rolled out to schools across West Yorkshire in spring 2023 to promote engagement with poetry, creative literacy and to raise aspirations and awareness of pathways to the wider creative industries. The programme will provisionally be delivered for Yr4 (8-9, KS2) and Yr10 (14-15, KS4), however this is subject to consultation with schools within the R&D stage, with a view to compatibility with the curriculum and exam scheduling. Our ambition is that 694 primary schools and 195 secondary schools across the region will engage with the activity. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ca28af21-068b-4032-8ad1-5c5467decdf8 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 5 Jul 2022 | | Submission deadline | 1 Aug 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Aug 2022 - 3 Aug 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | WEST YORKSHIRE COMBINED AUTHORITY | | Locality | LEEDS | | Post town | Leeds | | Postcode | LS1 2DE | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE4 West Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE42 Leeds | | Local authority | Leeds | | Electoral ward | Little London & Woodhouse | | Westminster constituency | Leeds Central and Headingley | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services - 92 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ### Codes - 80310000 - Youth education services - 92310000 - Artistic and literary creation and interpretation services - 92500000 - Library, archives, museums and other cultural services ## Release History - 5 Jul 2022 at 10:57 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ca28af21-068b-4032-8ad1-5c5467decdf8 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ca28af21-068b-4032-8ad1-5c5467decdf8 5th July 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=50048&B=UK Additional data ## Notice URLs - https://www.westyorks-ca.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
