## Summary

Middlesbrough Council has recently completed a contracting process for a grant-funded pilot project focused on Supported Internships aimed at young people with learning difficulties and disabilities who do not possess an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP). The project, titled "CS078 - Supported Internships in Middlesbrough", falls under the education and training services category. The procurement process was carried out using a direct method, specifically below threshold without competition. The procurement stage is complete, and the contract was awarded to Middlesbrough College, a large educational provider located at Dock Street, Middlesbrough. The contract was signed on 8th August 2025, with the internship programme's operation period starting on 1st September 2025, concluding on 31st July 2026.

This initiative provides an avenue for businesses specialising in education and training services to explore similar opportunities that involve direct contracting with public authorities like Middlesbrough Council. Companies with expertise in educational programme delivery, particularly those capable of supporting special educational needs, would be well-suited to compete for tenders of this nature. Such projects not only allow organisations to expand their service portfolio but also strengthen their reputation in public sector collaborations, fostering long-term growth and greater market presence.
