This project is set to run from mid-May to the end of November 2022, coinciding with the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games. The tender deadline is April 11, 2022, with activities focusing on providing training and support for these young individuals. The procurement method is classified as 'Other' and falls under the services category, primarily targeting welfare and training services for children and young people. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in youth welfare, education, and training services. Companies that can offer innovative, engaging, and person-centred learning programmes are well-suited for this project, especially those prepared to work collaboratively through legally constituted consortia. The focus on NEET young individuals signals a demand for providers able to assess and meet diverse needs through tailored skill development and mentoring, thus creating a pathway for businesses to contribute positively to community engagement while fostering growth through the provision of essential services. ## Notice Birmingham City Council ('the Council' or 'BCC') is seeking to appoint an appropriately skilled delivery agent for a bespoke project for young people who are currently not participating in education, employment or training (NEET); responding to the national, and local challenge to re-engage NEET young people in particular where the city's numbers peak at 17-years old. This project is to be delivered between May and November 2022 alongside The Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games ('B2022' or 'the Games') build-up and delivery period. This project is part of a collaborative investment in the Games Learning Programme, and the national Legacy Plan sets out the aims: 'We hope this will help young people, their families and supporting adults to: o Access unique ways to participate in the Games, including through sport and culture. o Raise aspirations and create an increased sense of purpose. o Accelerate awareness of and improve mental wellbeing. o Encourage increased physical activity and exercise, and group participation. o Gain new skills and enhance experience and enjoyment of education. o Gain access to Games related skills and employability opportunities' The delivery provider will provide training for the various elements of the Project Learning Programme. Please note consortium bids can be accepted if legally constituted (informal partnerships will not be accepted). Sub-contracting for elements of specialist provision is allowed if shown to be feasible in the timescales and delivers value for money. Use of existing provision is encouraged if it meets the specification for flexible person-centred provision. The recruitment of young people to the project must commence in May 2022 continuing through June and July. Delivery of flexible learning programmes will be over the six-month period of mid-May to mid-November so young people can progress onto further opportunities between July and November 2022, depending on the length of support provided on an individualised learning plan basis (which can include group work). The delivery provider must conduct an appropriate and engaging (for example co-produced) skills assessment with the young person, including soft skills, at entry point and deliver activities, qualifications, information, advice and guidance and progression support to meet individual needs. All of the young people engaged must be NEET. For this project NEET is defined as not in substantive employment (low hours / gig hours will not count as employment) and not attending formal education or accredited training. The Council will be using its free to use e-tendering system (in-tend) for the administration of this procurement process and potential suppliers must register with the system to be able to express an interest.
