## Summary

The Staffordshire County Council has recently awarded a contract for career guidance services through a direct award via exception method. The contract, titled "IA3060 Ladder for Staffordshire Grant Agreement," is valued at £129,000 and has a contract period from February 24, 2023, to January 31, 2026. The procurement stage is complete, and the tender period ended on February 1, 2023. The buying organisation, Staffordshire County Council, located in Stafford, West Midlands, England, carried out this tender.

This procurement process presents an opportunity for businesses in the career guidance services sector to partner with the Staffordshire County Council. Due to the nature of the tender, businesses with expertise in providing unique and quality-based national initiatives, especially in areas such as career support and brokerage services, would be well-suited to compete. Companies with experience in delivering niche services synergistic with existing business support programmes may find this tender particularly relevant for business growth.

## Notice

This is niche provision only deliverable via the Ladder brand and it provides synergy with other business support initiatives including the recently launched Staffordshire Jobs & Careers Brokerage Service. The Ladder brand is a unique quality based national initiative which has no competition and has been successfully operating for the last 6 years. The County Council is only making a grant contribution to the initiative hence why a contract for services would not be applicable.
