## About this tender

The Covid-19 pandemic has led to a significant number of students disengaging from education. Almost all provision is currently full and there is very little available to young people becoming NEET. A high number of NEETs are experiencing mental health problems, and many are struggling to access services and education. Additional short term English and Maths sessions are required to support with missed learning opportunities due to the pandemic.

- Lot 1

Support for students to improve English and Maths grades to ensure they can progress in education.

This provision can be delivered in any way that suits the needs of the learners. Online delivery will be needed for most young people.

Delivery should result in a recognised qualification that will support progression in education, such as functional skills.

Provision should be available across the county.
