This initiative aims to enhance youth volunteering activities within the South Downs National Park, targeted at 16-25-year-olds. The tender is active as of 10 March 2021 and closes on 12 April 2021. The contract period is expected to commence on 4 May 2021 and run until 1 December 2021, with a total budget of £15,000, and a minimum bid value of £10,000. The location for the delivery of services is within the South Downs National Park, categorised under the "Other services" industry. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in community engagement, youth services, and event management, particularly those focused on volunteer coordination and activities for young people. Companies that have experience in managing volunteer programmes, outdoor education, or events targeting youth participation would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. The project allows for the establishment of partnerships with local organisations to broaden youth volunteering opportunities, ultimately contributing to community development and engagement in the South Downs. ## Notice Building on this success South Downs Youth Action was launched in 2019. Nine volunteering days designed for 16-25 year olds took place over the Summer and Autumn holidays, giving young people diverse experiences. The days were designed as tasters and special consideration was given to social barriers that young people face such as public transport and to making the activities relevant, meaningful and fun. This was also an important way for participants to get experience towards a future academic or career path. We now need support to build on the pilot South Downs Youth Action and to reach more young people. We are seeking a contractor to work alongside the SDNPA volunteering team for 6 months to administer, coordinate and to part-deliver the volunteer activities for 16-25 years olds in the South Downs National Park during 2021. We want the contractor to support other organisations across the SDNP to build youth volunteering opportunities and to create a park-wide Youth Action programme. This will include the delivery of 24 Youth Action activity days from late spring to autumn 2021. Participant numbers may vary from 4 to 40 depending on the task.
