## Summary

Middlesbrough Council, operating as the buying organisation, recently completed a procurement process titled "Educate and Unite" within the education and training services industry. This initiative was funded by the Community Recovery Fund, a grant established by central government in response to the Summer 2024 riots. The primary location for this project is in the UKC1 region of the United Kingdom, specifically Middlesbrough. The procurement process reached the award stage and was processed using a direct method, characterised as "Below threshold - without competition." The contract was finalised with Media Cultured as the supplier for a period commencing on 1st April 2025 and concluding on 1st April 2026, with the contract being signed on the start date.

This tender presents an array of opportunities for businesses specialising in education and training services, particularly those adept at delivering community-focused initiatives. Although the procurement process has concluded, understanding the strategic allocation and engagement criteria can inform similar future opportunities. The procurement method, being direct and below threshold, indicates a niche market opening largely to those already involved in networking with councils or possessing specialised capabilities in community recovery efforts. Businesses with experience in such sectors would find similar tenders a viable option for growth, engagement with public sector funding, and potential collaboration with entities like Middlesbrough Council.

## Notice

Funding for this comes from the Community Recovery Fund, a grant from central government in response to the riots of Summer 2024. This funding needs to be spent by 31st March 2025 however the report detailing how this would be spent only received approval at the Executive meeting on 8th January 2025.
