## Summary

The procurement process pertains to the "STEP Specialist Support, Disabilities and Mental Ill-Health" project initiated by the Bradford Metropolitan District Council. This project, falling under the education and training services sector, is set in the Yorkshire and the Humber region of the United Kingdom. The procurement method is an open procedure, with the tender having completed its period on 12th December 2016. The total contract value was £500,000, with a contract duration commencing from 1st February 2017 to 1st August 2018.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in employability support, particularly those offering services tailored to individuals with disabilities or mental health issues. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well-suited to compete, as the project aims to build a supportive bridge into employment for adults aged 25 and over who are distanced from the labour market across Leeds and Bradford.

## Notice

The STEP (Skills, Training and Employment Pathways) Project is an PS9.8m (7.1m for Bradford) 3 year programme that will provide tailored employability support for adults aged 25 years+ and furthest from the labour market across Leeds and Bradford. Acting as a bridge into work, this voluntary provision will offer a personalised support package for individuals who have a disability and/ or mental ill health.
