## Summary

The Bradford Metropolitan District Council is currently engaged in the procurement process for the "STEP Specialist Support 50+" project, which falls under the education and training services category. This initiative, designed to provide tailored employability support for adults aged 25 and over who are farthest from the labour market in the Leeds and Bradford areas, has a total value of £150,000. The formal tender period concluded on 12th December 2016, and the contract, awarded on 22nd March 2017, will be in effect from 1st April 2017 until 31st July 2018.

This procurement offers significant opportunities for businesses aiming to enhance their market presence in the education and training sector, especially those experienced in providing support services for older demographics. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are particularly well-suited to compete due to the nature of the services required. Engaging in this contract could help businesses expand their reach and impact within the local community while supporting adult employability initiatives.

## 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 aged 50 and over.
