## Summary

The Greater Manchester Combined Authority has initiated an open tender titled "GM Youth Civic Leadership Programme" aimed at increasing ethnic diversity in civic leadership roles across the Greater Manchester area. This procurement process, currently in the tender stage, is part of the authority's efforts to support the race equality framework by empowering racially marginalised youth through training, mentoring, and civic engagement. Businesses interested must submit tenders through The Chest portal by 12:00 on 24th October 2025. The programme is categorised under education and training services and expects a budget of £90,000 with potential renewals extending the contract until November 2028. The contract period is set from 1st December 2025 to 30th November 2026, covering various UK regions, including UKC to UKK.

This tender presents significant opportunities for organisations specialising in education, training, and community engagement, especially those experienced in working with youth and diversity initiatives. Businesses with competencies in developing leadership skills, fostering inclusion, and addressing social challenges will find this procurement particularly aligned with their focus. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, with a heavy emphasis on delivering quality, social value, and innovative approaches to leadership empowerment. The opportunity to collaborate with a substantial public authority like the Greater Manchester Combined Authority offers growth potential through enhanced visibility and expanded networks in the public sector.

## Notice

The Greater Manchester Youth Civic Leadership Programme aims to increase ethnic diversity in civic leadership roles by empowering racially marginalised young people (ages 18 and under) across all 10 GM boroughs. Building on two years of success, the programme will develop participants' leadership skills, confidence, and understanding of public roles such as councillors, school governors, and board members. It includes training, mentoring, engagement with public bodies, and alumni connections. The programme also seeks to strengthen civic institutions through collaboration, awareness of racial inequalities, and support for the Race Equality Framework, with a strong focus on intersectionality, inclusion, and measurable social impact.
