## Summary

Westminster City Council has successfully completed a procurement process for the "Digital Dash (UK4)" programme, aimed at improving the employment prospects of young people aged 16-30 by equipping them with digital and soft skills.

This contract, valued at £357,616, was officially signed on 3rd October 2025 and will run until 2nd October 2026, with potential for two one-year extensions based on budget approval. Set in the UKI region of London, the main focus is on training services, aligning with the council's goal of enhancing workforce capabilities.
