The procurement process commenced with the tender announcement on 23rd October 2019, and interested parties must submit their bids before the deadline on 13th December 2019. The contract is expected to commence on 17th February 2020 and will run until 30th October 2020, with a total budget of £9 million allocated for this project. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in educational services, community engagement, or social support initiatives.
