## Notice

As part of the Birmingham and Solihull Youth Promise Plus project (YPP), Birmingham City Council is now commissioning a supplier for the provision of the Birmingham and Solihull Youth Promise Plus: Project final evaluation. The project is funded by European Social Fund (ESF), the European Youth Employment Initiative (YEI) and Partners own Match funding (including funds from the Police and Crime Commissioner).

The contract is managed by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) who are the Managing authority for ESF in the UK.
