## Summary

The Walsall Metropolitan Borough Council is currently engaged in the procurement process for the "Walsall Early Help Community Activities Reducing Exploitation Project," aimed at delivering services to support young people vulnerable to exploitation. This project falls under the category of community services and has an estimated contract value of £2.4 million, with a minimum value of £800,000.

The location of delivery is within the West Midlands, UK, and the procurement stage is currently at the award phase, having been awarded on 12 July 2022.

Businesses capable of delivering innovative programmes and short break services targeted at young individuals with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) would be well-positioned to compete in this process.
