## Summary

The Somerset County Council is currently managing a tender process for the "Post 16 Transition support package," aimed at providing a transition college support service to eligible young people as part of the Somerset NEETS project. This procurement falls under the category of vocational training services and is located in the South West region of England. The procurement method used is a selective procedure with a competitive negotiation stage, having been re-opened after the original advertisement failed to attract tenders. The tender period closes on 11 September 2020, and the contract is expected to commence on 14 September 2020, concluding on 30 June 2023. The total value of the contract is £536,000.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for service providers specialising in vocational training and support services for young people. Businesses with expertise in transition college support, particularly those with experience in working with NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training) programmes, will find this tender well-suited for participation. The project encourages engagement from small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), making it an accessible opportunity for organisations looking to expand their services in this sector.

## Notice

The purpose of this procurement is to contract with one or more providers for a transition college support service to eligible young people recruited to the Somerset NEETS project Somerset works and referred for additional support by the Somerset Transition college. The original advert failed to return tenders for Lots 1 and Lot 2 of the contract following an open advertisement on Contract Finder. The Council is now opening a competitive negotiation and seeking expressions of interest for this opportunity.
