Overview
The STEP (Skills, Training and Employment Pathways) Project is an £9.8m (£2.8m for Leeds) 3 year programme that will provide tailored employability support for adults aged 25 years+ and furthest from the labour market across Leeds and Bradford. Acting as a bridge into work, this voluntary provision will offer a personalised support package to circa 4,236 long-term unemployed people in total (1,500 in Leeds) helping them to address any barriers impacting on their ability to find work, improve their skills and move into sustained employment. This specification concerns the procurement of Sub-Contractors ('Contractor(s)') to a 3 Year Framework Agreement to enable delivery of the Leeds element of the STEP Project if the application for funding is successful which will be managed exclusively by Leeds City Council ('Council').
