## Summary

In June 2026, Wirral Council, a public authority under sub-central government classification, completed the procurement process titled "Participation and Engagement for NEET" aimed at engaging young people in education, employment, and training. Located in Wallasey, United Kingdom, the contract was awarded to CAREER CONNECT to provide services categorized under "Education and training services" within the UKD74 region. The procurement was conducted via a direct method without competition, under a light-touch regime, tailored for services below the threshold. The contract value is £148,000, with a performance period from 1st April to 30th June 2026, and was signed on 31st March 2026.

This tender offers growth opportunities for organisations specialised in education and training services, particularly those adept at providing guidance and support for young individuals facing barriers to positive post-16 engagement. Given the focus on NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training) services, businesses with experience in community engagement initiatives, such as those working with local councils or public service bodies, would be well-suited to compete. The opportunity expands the scope for business entities that are capable of delivering impactful social outcomes through tailored educational services within the predefined time frame and budget.
