Leicestershire County Council is inviting tenders for a project titled "Targeted and Tailored 1:1 or Small Group Support to Children and Young People in Care to Leicestershire (2025 Reopen)". This procurement falls under the education and health services category, and targets services such as academic support and therapeutic-cultural activities, specifically within the UKF22 region. This process is currently in the Tender stage, with key submission deadlines set for 15th October 2025 for enquiries and 24th October 2025 for the full tender submission.

The procurement method is an open competition, designed to attract a broad range of service providers interested in supporting young individuals in care, with a total contract value estimated at £144,000. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in educational or therapeutic services to expand their operations and impact a valuable community service. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, given the suitability criteria outlined in the procurement.

The project involves establishing a standing list of providers for two lots: academic support for improving educational outcomes and therapeutic support for enhancing emotional and social well-being, thus enabling sustained engagement with learning. Businesses that demonstrate high-quality service delivery, especially those with experience in tailoring educational or therapeutic interventions for children and young people, will be well-suited to compete for these opportunities.
