## Summary

Eastleigh Borough Council, a public authority operating at the sub-central government level in the United Kingdom, has completed the contracting process for the "Youth Employment Ready Programme". This service-based contract aims to provide an employment ready programme tailored for young individuals aged 18-24 currently receiving universal credit, with a focus on NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training) and SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) individuals. The project seeks to enhance training and employment opportunities. The procurement process, categorised under education and training services (CPV code: 80000000), was finalised with the award stage completing on 15th April 2026. The programme is valued at £34,999, with service delivery planned across various UK regions including UKJ, UKC, and several others, starting from 1st June 2026 and concluding on 5th February 2027.

This tender represents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in educational and training services or those with expertise in social development programmes. Firms with the capability to support young individuals, especially those that have been categorised as NEET or are living with SEND, stand to benefit. The contract was awarded to NEURODIVERGENT ARTS CIC, a small to medium-sized enterprise (SME) noted for its involvement in this sector. Engaging in such public contracts not only provides a steady revenue stream but also enhances a company's reputation as a contributor to community development through government initiatives. Such opportunities could particularly appeal to SMEs and enterprises aimed at social impact, looking to expand their services across multiple UK regions.
