Indoor living environment is an acute issue for Newquay and St Columb Minor. Anecdotal evidence and desktop research suggest this is particularly acute in Houses of Multiple Occupation (HMOs). Issues include inadequate heating, ventilation and insulation which can be the cause of poor living conditions, e.g. cold, damp, condensation, spread of mould etc, and have a direct impact on the health of tenants. Alongside this, there are issues with unsustainable, seasonal employment leading to economic insecurity and fragile living situations. Projects are sought that demonstrate ability to engage with landlords and their unemployed / inactive tenants private homeowners to develop skills linked to DIY home improvement and utilise the housing stock as a training ground and practical experience opportunity. Skills Development: Projects will deliver a level of 'training' relevant to the needs of participants and move them closer to the workforce. This may include addressing soft skills such as increasing confidence, raising aspiration and boosting self-esteem; accredited training; or anything in between. Following the intervention at least 50% of participants will be supported into further training, job seeking or employment such as a trade apprenticeship. Route to self-employment: Projects will also be encouraged that raise aspiration in eligible beneficiaries and recruit them to a course (min of 12 hours interaction) where they will learn how to become enterprise ready. This may be following the previous skills development and ultimately lead to self-employment relating to home repairs/DIY. Applicants should demonstrate where they are linking with landlords and other relevant organisations for engagement, support and/or legacy purposes. Demonstration of innovative thinking in the applicant's exit strategy will be a priority. Types of projects sought: • Projects where training is provided in a way that also aims to address participants' needs holistically and/or the most acute issues identified in the IMD. • Projects that alleviate issues associated with mental health and/or fuel poverty. • Projects that include a degree of co-design will also be encouraged. Due to Health & Safety consideration, the intention is to focus on basic DIY skills and not those requiring accredited certification in electrical, plumbing or gas related activity. Indicatively, the Local Action Group has allocated the following amount: Skills (01): £80,000 ESF £20,000 ERDF (enabling) Route to self-employment (P11): £85,000 ERDF Read full description ## CPV classification Training services Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/2c2cf95c-c116-49f8-85c5-33d5716ca51c) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
