The project aims to engage and support over 10,000 young learners from low progression areas in Yorkshire and the Humber. The tender period has ended, concluding on 7 March 2017, with the contract period starting from 14 May 2017 and lasting until 31 December 2020. This is an open procurement process, aiming to increase the aspirations and attainment of pupils in years 9 to 13. The total contract value is £4,000,000, with an active award date of 14 May 2017. This tender presents a significant opportunity for organisations specialising in educational services, mentoring, and youth engagement, particularly those that can provide innovative programmes to support young people's progression into higher education. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, especially those with experience in working with young people and addressing educational barriers. The project emphasizes the importance of tailored activities that enhance confidence and resilience, making it ideal for businesses looking to expand their portfolio in the education sector. ## Notice Closed opportunity - published specification: We are looking for external providers to help us to develop an engaging programme of activities to support and encourage more pupils from the target areas into Higher Education and to help us meet the overall targets for the NCOP project which are: - 95 % of project participants moving into KS4 make an informed choice for GCSE options; - 95 % of project participants moving into KS5 make informed post-16 choices; - 95 % of project participants leaving KS5 make informed post-18 choices; - Achieve a 2 % uplift across our partner schools/academies/colleges in numbers who progress to an HE destination.
