## Summary

The procurement process led by St Helens College is focused on the provision of learning and training services, specifically through the delivery of a Prince's Trust TEAM programme aimed at supporting young people who are not in employment, education or training (NEET). This process falls under the education and training category and is designed as a "horizontal arrangement" exceeding the scope of the standard Procurement Act threshold. The contract has been awarded to Merseyside Fire and Rescue Authority, who will facilitate the delivery of services across the UKD71 region, with the contract period spanning from 14th November 2025 to 31st July 2026. This procurement method is classified as below threshold with unknown specifics, and the contract was officially signed on 13th November 2025.

This tender represents an opportunity for businesses specialising in education and training services, particularly those geared towards social and community development, to align their goals with public sector objectives. The provision of the Prince's Trust TEAM programme highlights a collaborative approach between public authorities to achieve shared goals, offering avenues for capable large-scale organisations with similar operational values as Merseyside Fire and Rescue Authority to participate in future iterations or related initiatives. The focus on reducing the NEET numbers within the youth population creates a fertile ground for businesses that provide innovative educational solutions to engage in partnerships that enhance community welfare.
