The programme aims to support students with SEMH and/or learning difficulties and includes activities like engaging with inspiring speakers, visiting workplaces, and preparing CVs. The tender, titled "Careers Inspiration Programme," is for career guidance services, with a contract value of £150,000. The procurement method is an open procedure below threshold, with a tender period ending on 11th November 2022 and a contract period from 1st January 2023 to 31st August 2025. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses experienced in providing career guidance services to support young people with SEMH and learning difficulties. SMEs and VCSEs are particularly encouraged to participate. Companies in the services sector, especially those with expertise in supporting youth development and mentoring, are well-suited for this tender. The project offers a chance to contribute to student career development and work experience opportunities, aligning with the MacIntyre Academies' goals of enhancing students' awareness and readiness for the labour market. ## Notice MacIntyre Academies Trust (MAT) is looking to partner with an organisation (the provider) with a track record of supporting young people with SEMH and/or learning difficulties (including autism) to deliver a Careers Inspiration Programme (Inspirational Futures) across its three special schools in Warwickshire. The project will support the academies to achieve The Baker Clause, the Gatsby Benchmarks and work with students in Key Stage 3, Key Stage 4 and Post-16 in group or individual sessions to enable them to: hear from inspiring speakers and employers who can introduce them to a world outside their regular communities and ideas of work; visit real-world workplaces and sectors; understand opportunities in the developing labour market and widen their awareness of the options available to them; prepare CVs and take part in mock interviews. We also want the project to help us generate more work experience opportunities and if budget allows provide mentoring and support to targeted young people. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d94b81bc-a710-4ed4-91a4-1d47ab6c8588 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 3 Nov 2022 | | Submission deadline | 11 Nov 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Jan 2023 - 31 Aug 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £150,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | MACINTYRE ACADEMIES | | Locality | MILTON KEYNES | | Post town | Milton Keynes | | Postcode | MK9 2JA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ1 Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLJ12 Milton Keynes | | Local authority | Milton Keynes | | Electoral ward | Central Milton Keynes | | Westminster constituency | Milton Keynes Central | | Delivery location | TLG West Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79634000 - Career guidance services ## Release History - 3 Nov 2022 at 12:52 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d94b81bc-a710-4ed4-91a4-1d47ab6c8588 - 25 Oct 2022 at 10:56 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d94b81bc-a710-4ed4-91a4-1d47ab6c8588 - 17 Oct 2022 at 14:56 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d94b81bc-a710-4ed4-91a4-1d47ab6c8588 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d94b81bc-a710-4ed4-91a4-1d47ab6c8588 3rd November 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/e607e240-3bda-429c-b84e-c6ba28116b24 Invitation to tender (ITT) and bidding instructions. - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/3d2ace8c-3709-47e8-86ef-9f8c15ba568b Clarification to bidder questions up to 24th October 2022 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/5ef9e402-6b50-464b-a257-1058291c3041 Clarifications to bidder questions - updated 03/11/2022 ## Notice URLs - https://www.macintyreacademies.org/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
