## Summary

The University of Central Lancashire HEC is currently seeking to appoint a partner for the NCOP Mentoring Programme through an open tender process. The tender was published on 20 January 2017 and remains active, with a submission deadline set for 22 February 2017. This procurement falls under the services category, specifically focusing on community action programmes, and is located in Preston, England. The contract period is scheduled to begin on 1 April 2017 and conclude on 31 March 2020, with a total budget of £200,000.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs), engaged in educational outreach and mentoring services.
