## Summary

Cambridgeshire County Council is currently in the planning stage for the "Cambridgeshire County Council Mentoring Scheme for Care Leavers." This procurement process is categorized under health and social work services and is set to take place in the East of England. The engagement period concludes on 31st August 2020, with a market engagement notice published on 23rd July 2020. The council seeks to expand its existing mentoring scheme, which currently supports care leavers in Cambridge, and aims to capture outcomes related to education, employment, and personal development.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for organisations specialising in mentoring and support services, particularly those with experience in social care, education, and youth services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as the council is seeking innovative ideas and cost proposals to enhance their mentoring programme over a potential three-year contract, expanding mentoring relationships across Cambridgeshire.

## Notice

Cambridgeshire County Council are currently in contract with an external organisation, administering a Pilot Mentoring Scheme for Care Leavers with our care experienced young people. We have 11 mentoring relationships, based in Cambridge. We are looking to evidence from our Pilot scheme the success of mentoring in the lives of care experienced young people. We will be looking to capture tangible and non-tangible results, focusing largely on Education, Employment and Training but also on personal goals identified by our young people such as confidence or relationships. We are looking to expand this scheme over ideally a three year contract, increasing the number of mentoring relationships each year and developing in further locations across Cambridgeshire. We are looking to consult with organisations with the capability to administer this scheme to get ideas of costings. See attached document for more details. If you think you can contribute to this soft market testing exercise, please complete the questionnaire attached and return to Joe Gilbert by the 31st August 2020.
