The procurement is taking place within the education services industry and is classified under the CPV code 80310000. The tender is at the active stage, with a submission deadline set for 25th June 2021. Successful candidates will commence work from 1st October 2021, with the contract ending on 31st July 2023. This open procurement method is a great opportunity for relevant service providers to engage in a project that addresses social mobility issues. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for organisations specializing in youth education services, particularly those focused on social mobility and targeted support for underrepresented student groups. Businesses that offer tailored educational programmes, career guidance, or skills development services would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Engaging in this procurement can not only expand a business's portfolio but also contribute positively to society by supporting the educational journey of disadvantaged students. ## Notice Just under 85% of De Montfort University undergraduates fall within some metric or measure of 'social mobility'. This equates to approximately 19,500 students who face additional barriers and challenges to entry into graduate level work compared to students from more privileged backgrounds. In order to enhance the employability of our students we need to provide bespoke and targeted support for specific student cohorts. To complement the projects currently being undertaken for other 'at risk' student groups we want to establish a new programme for disadvantaged male students who are shown through statistical data to be the least likely to succeed in accessing and completing a degree and subsequently succeeding in securing a graduate level role. The University invites bids from suitably qualified providers in order to deliver this programme.
