## Summary

The Scottish Government is conducting a procurement process aimed at providing a service to engage with young children aged 12-15, helping them exercise their rights under the Education (Additional Support for Learning) Act 2004. The procurement method is an open procedure, and the current stage is active, with submissions due by 28 November 2018. The contract, with a total value of £290,000, includes a requirement for the service to be nationally delivered across Scotland. Interested suppliers can submit their bids electronically.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly those focused on child engagement services, educational consultancy, or social outreach programmes. Businesses that can demonstrate prior experience in youth engagement and possess the necessary insurance coverages are well-suited to compete. Engaging in this contract not only supports the rights of children but also allows companies to expand their services within the public sector and strengthen their portfolios within Scotland.
