The programme will support a diverse cohort of young people through a relevant and empowering vocational education and training experience that equips them for progression to higher levels of learning or to employment, according to their own aspirations. The overall aim of the Programme is to ensure continuity of youth vocational education and training provision, contribute to social and economic inclusion, deliver skills learning and achievement, and act as a pathway to any next step. Many participants will enter the Programme with a disability or disabilities, and/or with a complex range of issues and barriers to learning and achievement, including mental wellbeing challenges and mental health difficulties. Additional disability support will be the responsibility of the training provider to deliver or source. Payment for this support will be covered in the funding table and contractual measures will be in place to ensure that this additional funding is ring-fenced and directed towards those young people with disabilities. Suppliers should refer to the Specification Schedule for full detail on the deliverables of this contract. ## CPV classification Education and training services Technical and vocational secondary education services Youth education services Training services Training programme services Vocational training services Industrial and technical training services Industrial training services Technical training services Personal development training services Source Find a Tender (UK) · Notice ocds-h6vhtk-0517ac-2025-09-11T15:44:48+01:00 [View official notice](https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/ocds-h6vhtk-0517ac-2025-09-11T15:44:48+01:00) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
