Full Potential: Employability Training Provider for Care-Experienced Young People

Westminster City Council is seeking a provider for the "Full Potential: Employability Training Provider for Care-Experienced Young People" project, with the tender currently at the active stage. This procurement, under the category of services, focuses on delivering employability courses for young people aged 17-25. Located in London, the project is part of a governmental initiative funded by the Department for Work and Pensions.

Interested parties should take note that the tender period ends on 19 November 2025, with any enquiries closing earlier on 12 November 2025. The council employs an open procurement method, with a contract value capped at £96,000, and project services are expected to begin on 1 December 2025. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in welfare, education, and training services, particularly those with experience in delivering community action programmes and training services, to engage with a public authority.

The project prioritises technical capability over cost, with evaluation criteria of 60% for technical expertise and 40% for cost considerations. Small to mid-sized enterprises (SMEs) operating within these industries, especially those with innovative training methodologies, would be well-suited to compete due to the below-threshold open competition nature of the procurement process. Contract renewal options further allow for sustained business growth potential.
