## Summary

The procurement process is led by Leeds City Council, which is seeking to implement a programme aimed at promoting apprenticeship participation among Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) young people aged 16 to 24 in Leeds. The tender, titled "Programme to Promote Participation in Apprenticeships for Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) Young People Aged 16-24 Years," is classified under education and training services and was published on 27 July 2017. The contract, valued at £35,000, commenced on 1 December 2017 and is set to conclude on 31 August 2018. The procurement method adopted is an open procedure, and the tender period was active until the deadline of 24 August 2017.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses focused on education, training services, and youth engagement, particularly those with experience in outreach programmes for BME communities. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract, as the programme aims to address barriers to apprenticeship opportunities, which may require tailored support services and expertise in community engagement.
