## Summary

Leicestershire County Council is seeking to enhance the understanding and management of risk in school-aged children through a programme titled "Programme to promote the understanding and managing of risk in school-aged children." This initiative, valued at approximately £200,000 over a potential two-year contract, is categorised under education and training services within the health and social work sectors. The procurement process employed is an open tender, with the contract period running from 1st September 2017 to 31st August 2018. The procurement stage has been completed, and the successful supplier, Billson Consulting Ltd, was awarded the contract on 4th August 2017.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses focused on educational services, mental health support, and risk management frameworks, particularly those with experience in school programmes. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community social enterprises (VCSEs) may find this an advantageous project to pursue, as it aims to develop life skills and resilience in young people, which aligns well with their core competencies. Engaging with this initiative can lead to further opportunities for similar contracts in the public sector, especially in the educational and health sectors.
