## Summary

The Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council is currently in the planning stage for a procurement titled "Market Event - Positive Progressions," which focuses on education and training services aimed at engaging pupils who are at risk of becoming NEET (not in education, employment, or training). The procurement process will seek to commission a programme for 20 pupils within the electoral wards of Darton East, Darton West, Old Town, and St Helens in the Yorkshire and the Humber region. Interested parties should note that the engagement period concludes on 23 February 2018, allowing potential providers to refine their models and approaches with the commissioners.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for organisations specialising in innovative educational programmes, particularly those with a focus on creative engagement with young people. Businesses that excel in developing tailored training solutions or community support initiatives would be well-suited to compete. By participating in this procurement process, such organisations can contribute to meaningful educational outcomes while expanding their portfolio in the public sector.

## Notice

The North Area Council intends to commission a programme to work with 20 pupils across Years 10 and 11 who are disengaged from learning and at risk of becoming NEET. The young people will be identified in conjunction with participating schools and the local authority using the Risk of NEET Indicator (RONI). Eligible participants will reside in or attend schools within the electoral wards of Darton East, Darton West, Old Town and St Helens. The programme will be innovative, creative and will seek to develop new approaches to working with this group of young people. Outcomes will focus on attendance attainment and progression onto next step post 16 learning options that fulfil individual potential and help achieve aspirational career ambitions. Commissioners wish to invite interested providers to meet with them to refine the model and approach.
