This service contract, aimed at supporting unemployed individuals aged 16 and above through tailored learning programmes, is classified under education and training services. Located in the Yorkshire and the Humber region of the United Kingdom, this contract has an estimated value of £495,000 and was awarded on 18 November 2019, with an active contract period lasting from 1 December 2019 to 31 July 2021. The procurement was conducted using an open procedure, which allowed for competitive tenders above the threshold.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in education and training services, particularly those that provide support programmes for unemployed individuals. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as their size may enable them to offer innovative and cost-effective solutions that meet the needs outlined in the contract.

## Notice

The activities will support unemployed individuals aged 16 plus with individualised programmes of learning and support, to overcome identified barriers to participation in education and support their transition toward sustained employment. The provision will be offered through a single Lot of activity at Investment Priority (IP) and LEP level, we intend to enter in to two Contracts for transitional and more developed, a single Contract for each of the areas within this lot (York, North Yorkshire & East Riding - Transitional and York, North Yorkshire & East Riding - More Developed) with the Applicant who submits the most economically advantageous tender for this Lot. The precise value and scope of the Lot is still to be agreed with individual Local Enterprise Partnerships and their ESIF Committees and therefore the estimated value is based upon expressions of interest from LEPs and could be subject to change.
