This initiative is underpinned by the use of ESF Business and Education funding and falls within the category of IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support. The tender was published on 10th February 2021 and was open until 24th February 2021, with the contract period scheduled to commence on 26th February 2021 and conclude on 31st March 2021. The procurement method adopted for this process is an open procedure, reflecting a transparent approach to sourcing eligible organisations. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), with strong connections to the Sheffield area. Participating in this tender allows companies to showcase their capabilities in fostering educational guidance and career development, a growing market driven by ongoing social and economic needs. Suitable contenders are likely to be those offering digital platforms or services that can effectively deliver engaging virtual events that connect local employers to potential learners and job seekers. ## Notice Sheffield City Council is committed to ensuring an informed and supported journey through education and into employment for young people in the city. An important element within this pathway is good guidance. The key elements to guidance that are shown to improve relevance, awareness and aspiration are the enriching experiences delivered by local employers to raise awareness of the local labour market and next steps learning and training organisations. Sheffield is usually active with post 16 events across schools and colleges in the city but the Covid-19 pandemic has reduced the ability for our education organisations to coordinate and deliver such events. Using ESF Business and Education funding, Sheffield City Council is therefore looking for an organisation with strong links in Sheffield to deliver a virtual event focussing on the available local next steps in learning, training or work. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d0c82407-ce6b-4112-888e-3865530da8f6 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 18 Feb 2021 | | Submission deadline | 24 Feb 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 26 Feb 2021 - 31 Mar 2021 | | 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 | Cancelled | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SHEFFIELD CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | SHEFFIELD | | Post town | Sheffield | | Postcode | S1 4PL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE3 South Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE32 Sheffield | | Local authority | Sheffield | | Electoral ward | City | | Westminster constituency | Sheffield Central | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 72000000 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ## Release History - 18 Feb 2021 at 14:30 - TenderCancellation - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d0c82407-ce6b-4112-888e-3865530da8f6 - 10 Feb 2021 at 14:59 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6e3d9d5e-5c69-4e23-b79a-f27fe8f60d38 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d0c82407-ce6b-4112-888e-3865530da8f6 18th February 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6e3d9d5e-5c69-4e23-b79a-f27fe8f60d38 10th February 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=d1babd88-af6b-eb11-8108-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - https://www.sheffield.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
